It seems pretty reliable and solid now I have all the right bits built. It should work over GPRS too though I don't propose to do that too often as it will cost money.
Probably less than you expect. I run my mail in push mode and everything else gets updated every 15 minutes in working hours and hourly out of hours. That I think works out to about £5 worth of data a month (if I actually paid for it however it is within what I get free on my contract)
That is with it set up to only get attachments or whole messages over a size limit on demand. If you were only syncing PIM data then unless you have a frantically busy calendar I would expect to be very little traffic at all as your data spends most of the day pretty much static.
However of course, roaming sync of your PIM data only makes sense if you have other people looking at/adding to your calendar/task list as I do.
