its possible to get a restart due to lack of ram but it would be few and far between with normal usage... didn't close the apps on my P1 either...
always best to close java games as they can sometimes cause increased battery drain while in the background...
always best to keep programs open as they then become pretty much instant (as they do not need to load/open again) also allows you to utilise the task manager for quick switching and muti-tasking...

It is safer to close unused apps, regardless the amount of free memory, to avoid extra battery drain and possible conflicts. Why keep something in memory all the time when you need it again one day later, and starting it anew takes one second?

On the P1i there were issues with leaving some apps open .... Leaving web open kept 3g on draining the battery, leaving camera open just drained the battery anyway and keeping messaging open sometimes resulted in "out of memory" messages with over 60mb free RAM (WTF?)
Now I'm back to a P990i I just keep the following apps open all the time:
Main menu
Activity menu
Contacts
LCG Jukebox
I can then use messaging, web and camera when I need them then use SMP to shut them down again on flip close. Seems to work pretty well giving the P990i's lack of available RAM and shocking memory loss!
Doesn't seem to be so much of a problem on 3rd party apps, then again they are probably written far better than the crap SE have cobbled together ......

i've experienced no problems with conflicts or battery drain on then G900 and i have internet, notes, file manager, contacts, media, torch, calculator, messaging, calendar, time and alarm open at all times.
my view is that the whole point of the phone is to be able to have everything you need running in the background for quick and effective multi-tasking.
also, as i use mine with no standby application, having everything open means i can quickly access what i need via task manager and not have to go into the menu system...

Since i bought it i was always closing every apps, after using them.
But now i never close any apps, when i lunch one (media, photo, contacts) it open immediatly.
