I don't trust strongcoin. They've been reported to have forced (tricked) a user into paying an unintended address.

I wonder what percentage of people maintain lots of small wallets instead of one big one. More of a pain to keep track of but a little easier to look like a small fish.
It depends on what wallet program you are using.
If you are using Bitcoin-Qt, then you need to be aware that the wallet creates a new address (that it keeps hidden and doesn't bother telling you about) every time you create a transaction to send bitcoins somewhere. You would need to get a list of these hidden addresses to check their balances online somewhere like blockchain.info.

I do use that client. Seems that by this information there are some more questions:
Is the amount of BTC stored in a specific address or rather in the wallet itself?
To the extent that they exist at all, bitcoins are stored in the blockchain that every full peer maintains a copy of.
The blockchain is a list of every confirmed transaction that has ever existed in the entire bitcoin network. In general, transaction outputs have a bitcoin value and are associated with bitcoin addresses. Spending the bitcoin value from a transaction output requires having the private key that is associated with the bitcoin address. Your wallet maintains a list of your private keys and the associated bitcoin addresses. The wallet scans the blockchain for every unspent output that was "sent to" an address that the wallet has control over. It totals up all these unspent outputs and displays this total to you as an available balance.
Is the amount of BTC stored in a specific address or rather in the wallet itself?
BTCs are stored at specific addresses, wallet is just a collections of those addresses (and their private keys). Bitcoin-qt shows total balance of all addresses in your wallet, some of those addresses may not be visible in the Receive tab (for example, addresses that receive change from a transaction), but they are still in your wallet.

Yep, you can check it at blockchain.info, just enter your address into Search field
Or just go to https://blockchain.info/address/1YourAddresscEgsyHxgQsUMKmC9QbfCHA

Hi everybody,
so I have created a wallet with a couple of addresses inside.
Is there any way I can check online (without accessing my wallet) how much BTC there are
a) in the wallet alltogether
b) in each of those addresses
?
Thank you for helping
