hi! yes, I have downloaded torrents on my mobile phone using the same application that you have mentioned (symtorrent) and it is working. you only need to have enough free space on your phone and wireless internet connection

well, I don't know what speed you will have, but you will definitely pay a lot for that, because if you not use the WiFi you will make a lot of traffic

It depends on the phones themselves and the provider networks. Some don't allow that kind of downloading as torrent files are often too large. I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you have a lot of memory for the phone because that would pull a lot of resources. And, cell phones are still working on this issue.
