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's still almost as much as my *annual* spend on mobile phone calls! :-) I use pay-as-you-go for this very reason, I just don't have a need (or desire) for tlking to people on the go, the only time I use my mobile to make calls is if I get stuck somewhere or I'm going to be seriously late.
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.
Yes, I may well do the *occasional* sync via GPRS if I need to get a 'new' address I've entered at home for example.
