Coming from Blackberry I am so used to having to close them that its just natural and if I dont do it I get all paranoid thinking Im gonna end up with a frozen phone and have to do a 10 minute restart.... Oh no wait the Iphone doesnt take 10 mins to restart!! I do close them though I think it just is a good habit and I am so trained to do it I cant stop.

Sometimes yes, specially if they freeze. Mostly no, but sometimes it bothers me that my dock has almost every app open, so I start closing them ;P

I had no idea either. I was always making sure my apps were closed on my Droid. I have not even thought about it on my iPhone because I don't have all the slow down and freezing going on.

Thought I had read some where that it didn't matter whether they were closed or not? Haven't noticed any problems not closing them like I would on a Blackberry or Android device.

I close them all regularly. If not, apps starts to crash and performance suffers.

I don't understand why Apple didn't add a 'close all'-button...
