What does "backwards compatible" mean exactly for a Bluetooth 3.0 device?

That you can't make use of the advantages of BT 3.0 if you connect your device to a BT 2.x device? (like longer signal range and less energy consumption)
But if the sending device is BT 3.0 shouldn't it send a longer distance signal so it won't matter that the receiving device is just one with BT 2.x?

I have a Sony DR-BT22A Stereo Bluetooth headset with A2DP and want to use that with a (signal sending) Samsung Galaxy S with BT 3.0. Will I be able to enjoy the advantages of BT 3.0 in this combination? Or can I use it only like if my Galaxy S had BT 2.1 with A2DP? And will I be able to use the special stereo bluetooth functions like increase and decrease volume, next and previous track, fast forward and backward via my Sony headset in this combination with 3.0 and 2.1?

Much appreciated.
