Well, if you only ever get sporadic 3G connection and the phone is constantly switching between 2G and 3G, then turning 3G off will save battery power (I've turned it off on my phone).

Obviously, using only 2G will affect internet and email speed. But it will save you battery power (if, however, you get a constant, good, 3G signal, then leave it switched on as that too will save power).
