When i first got my iphone i just learned to listen to what voice over was saying. If you hear 3 or 3 bars wifi network then you have that. If you see gprs for example and no amount of bars you are connected to your cell network. On your cell network the number of bars is on the upper left hand part of the status bar. So this can be a very quick way to tell if you are connected to wifi or not.. So to sumerise'
go to the second item in the status bar and if it says x number of bars it's wifi otherwise it's your cell network that you are connected to. If you see nothing there you have no signal.
