2GB are quite a lot so it could in theory last you for about 4 - maybe 5 hours.
Nevertheless it depends on how the device you have works, what kind of quality it records, what kind of file saves the recording as etc.
You can try it at home, for example make it record anything for a small amount of time - perhaps 10 minutes - and see how big the resulting file is. That way you can calculate how far the 2GB go.

You can work it out with a calculator.
Assuming the card has 2,048,000,000 bytes free space
Multiply by 8 to get BITS
Gives you 16,384,000,000 bits.
Assume a recording data rate of 24Kbps, remember this is KiloBITS per second, which is a common mono audio recording bitrate
So you have 16,384,000,000 divided by 24,000
Which equals 682,666 seconds or thereabouts.
So divide by 60 to get 11,377 minutes and divide by 60 again to get 189.63 hours or thereabouts.
Now you consult the owners manual that came with the phone and look up what recording bitrates it supports.
Then you can work out how long you'll get on your own phone.
If the recording bitrate doubles, the recording time halves and vice versa.
Sorry, I was bored!
If I've stuffed up with the calculations, post here with your calculations, readers.

If you're planning on using a 2 GB microSD card, make sure your phone can recognize all 2 GB. A coding bug limited a lot of early microSD-capable phones to accepting up to only 1 GB. The much newer ones can recognize the 2 GB, but you gotta make sure.
Just a thought...

depends on the video quality and format of recording really, i got a 512mb and my highest quality recording is mp4 320X240 and that takes up 4mb per minute on my nokia n70

I'd say about 4-5 hours.

My 1gig will hold 6 hours of video if that gives you any indication.
