wow that is seriously expensive data! i'd make sure i was near a wifi point when it was due to update!
on that note - i have read threads on here relating to changing the time the auto update checks (seems to depend when you power-on for the first use), believe they achieved this through a script but dont quote me on that, perhaps finding this thread may shed some light on a possible solution fou.

You can change timestamp in /home/user/.hildon-application-manager/last-update to the desired time of the day. It's Unix time, you will need to find a converter.

or....
Disabling Auto Updates Check
You may want to disable the automatic software updates checks that occur upon internet connection, in order to consume less bandwidth when using 2G/3G connections. You can do so by editing the gconf file found in /var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/update-notifier and changing the check interval from 1440(24 hours) to a much larger value. The value must not exceed 4,294,967,295:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval NEW_VALUE

Run this in terminal:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 2147483647
2147483647 is the max value for me.
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 2147483647
2147483647 is the max value for me.

well yeah i get unlimited (read 500Mb) data for £5 on my contract, (about 6 or 7 euro i think) the trade off is i also get 300days of rain a year, tell ya what we'll do a foreign exchange so i can remind myself what the sun looks like!
couldn't do it permanently though i love my country so much it hurts sometimes!

i use that 10 mb for gtalk ONLY.
so one time i log in, the phone automatically looks for updates on my phone. that takes up 12 MB!(i have to pay 5 euros for every extra mb :@)
THIS is a serious kill joy.
it would be great if we can make the app manager have an option if we WANT it to look for updates or not.
