I really would like to know what websites would have been left open to run up much additional data usage if any at all. I doubt that is the problem. I would think all the tech websites would be jumping on that as a major flaw with IOS if that was the case.

I have an iPod Touch, and I love this for at home to download apps and listen to music. That suits me. I use a C5 or my N86 for phone calls, texting and all the rest. They can keep the iPhone, it's too much hassle. What you needed to do is go into App Switcher, where you press the home button twice. In there, it lists the apps which are open, and you would have seen Safari there if you'd known. To close it, double tap, but on the second tap, hold your finger down until VO says "Edit" or something, then you lift your finger and double tap each app that is open to close it. Once App Switcher tells you there are no apps currently open, you know you are safe. But what a carry on, forget it! (lol). Sorry, I can't give you a reason for sticking with it unless your contract provider will let you switch to something a bit more savvy. Trouble is that Talks and proper keypads are becoming so scarce. Good luck.

In essence, I've searched the net, pressed the home button to close it, so I thought, and got on with my day. However, as I-phone users hopefully know, it did not close but carried on in the background until I shut off the mobile at night. I'm sorely tempted to go back to my Nokia N86, on which I just pressed one button to close a so-called app. Texting is so much easier and I've got K-nfb reader too. The I-phone makes a nice I-pod accessory and has some gimmicky app's that I would use once in a blue moon, but to do anything is too long winded to use as a simple mobile. I'm on a two year contract, but I'm willing to lose money on the deal just to go back to simple. So, guys, I'm looking for a good argument why I should keep my I-Phone 4 and not go back to my N86.
