The free 3G is for the browser and shopping. You can turn the wifi and 3G on and off. If you are in a WiFi area it will go for the WiFi connection first. Otherwise it uses the 3G. I have no idea if the webpage would stay up if you turned the Wireless off.

I have read that the battery lasts about a week if you leave the Wireless on continually.

I was surprised at how well the browser worked when I played around with it this week on travel. I used the WiFi which works faster then the 3G and the pages loaded reasonably quickly and were fairly easy to work with. I played with it for a whooping 15 minutes but was impressed.
