Smartphone data usage on idle mode.

Hi Everyone
I have been browsing through the threads for a similar question to mine regarding data usage of smartphone on idle mode,I am torn between Nokia lumnia 920,Samsung note 2 and Iphone 4s,I know Iphone 5 ;-)

What I'd like to know is how much data this phones consumes on idle mode? I'd hate to be bankrupted by smartphone,at the moment I am using reliable Nokia N8 running symbian belle and I like how it doesn't consume data,I facebook alot,twit alot,google plus alot,whatsapp alot,email alot,when it gets any new updates it lets me know and I use nokia pc suite to download updates,

I am always on the go,need a very smartfone but that cannot chow data ridiculously,

One other clarity please,spec wise,I hear you cannot send the music you have to iphone you're forced to buy on Itunes,how true is that? They also say you cannot receive any media via bluetooth and that the iphone don't have office pre installed you need to buy on itunes,How true are this scary facts?

I am in love with note 2 and interested in iphone 4s and loyal to nokia brand,but I must chose one.

Thank you in advance.

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 with the 7.8 update. It uses around 1 to 2Mb worth of airtime during the night on idle. Would not recommend a WP device if you do not have a sizable data bundle. I don't even have that many apps installed and emails I check manually.
