Wow. I keep updates off anyway, not for data conservation but rather
to save battery life. Also I use WiFi instead of 3G when at home (and
at some other hotspots), again not for data conservation but because
it's much faster. So my 3G use is probably a bit lower than it
otherwise would be. Good practice for when the rates go up and the cap
comes down...
