When you're connected to WiFi you will see a white oval in the upper right corner. If it's grayed out it's not connected. This WiFi indicator will appear when you turn on WiFi and disappear completely when you turn it off.

There is a light sensor on the front of the BlackBerry that will dim or brighten your screen depending on ambient light. Walk from inside out into bright sunlight and the sensor will change the backlight setting. Some models are more sensitive than others so if you walk directly under an overhead light it can change the backlighting. Standing outside, just turning the screen to face the sun will also trigger the sensor.

BlackBerrys have a magnetic sensor so when you put it into any holster with a magnet it will automatically go to sleep. Not all holsters are made with these sleeper magnets so it depends on what holster you bought.
