Android Noob. Data ?'s

So i'm reading a few threads about running the mytouch 3g aka magic without a data plan due to lack of 3g coverage. my question is if you cancel the data plan on your account so to use only WiFi when needed can you still receive SMS and MMS messages over 2G network and if your not near a WiFi connection will your phone try to connect to a 3G network to receive info thus charging your account large fees for data usage. Thanks ahead of time for your great responses. Hope this phone works great for me as it has for many of you.

There's always good ol' Wi-Fi to configure your Google account setup.

I tried that. It will not let me get to the wifi setup untill I have done the intial sync.

My situation was the Donut update hosed my phone. I did the factory wipe data but I was in an area that had only wifi for data service. The phone would tell me it could not do the sync and give me only the option of emergency calls or go back to the gmail account setup thing.
