To put your phone in sleep mode, click on the button on the top right of the phone.

You also might want to check your brightness settings

In pink, I thought that turned it off.

That's if you hold it down. If you just press it quickly (it will make a sound if you have sounds turned on) without holding it down it will put it in sleep mode.

Last night a friend told me I can check what programs are running and how to "turn them off" kinda. Press the round button twice and at the bottom come the programs. Hold one of the icons down and when they are shaking turn them off using the minus sign on each icon.
My question is, does putting the phone in sleep mode using the top button do the same thing or is other way better to conserve the battery?

hmmm. when I double-click on the home button when not in sleep mode it shows the last 4 apps I used, not apps that are running. When in sleep mode it double-clicking on the home button gives me access to ipod controls. I have an iphone 3.

Apple says that in iOS4 if you double-click the home button it lets you multitask.

Oh good grief! I really am trying to get the hang of this new technology!

Sometimes you just have to fiddle around with it to figure all the tips and tricks...it takes a while.
