I don't know if there is a difference between connected 3g or 2g (but I think 3g is more expensive). But I know there is _quite_ a difference between "no connection" and "3g connection".
Can't say how much data is transfered. But it's not that much (15mins email-check, skype and sip only connected - I tested this "scenario" a couple of days ago, since then I switched to autodisconnect and sync every 60mins).
