And if I am reconnected...if I use the browser or check email...which connection will the phone use by default?

ok, if your Wifi arrows are solid- they are connected..
if your arrows are Animated(much better word than "glowing" which i used for some reason lol) - then its trying to connect or awaiting being connected to..
If your Wifi is on and not actually connected, when you open the browser - it should fail... like right now, i can simply goto turn on wifi, and if i open my browser, it wont load a page..because the Wifi is just on, its not connected to anything
So i think to answer your question: if your wifi is even on, it Will Not default to Data for processes.. Wifi being on, all-be-it maybe not connected, data still Can Not become active until youve actually turned off Wifi period..... just like th epic mail example - if your Wifi is on, but not connected to anyting, Data will not "auto activate" to download the pic mail still.... until Wifi is off..
are we getting closer to the answers your looking for now?
