navigation - Modal vs non-modal views in iPhone


I've been reading and looking at different iOS apps to design the UI for mine, and it feels like sometimes the difference between using a modal view or a non-modal view is not entirely clear... for example, from a "sign up" and "sign in" view, there are some apps that display the sign in form in a modal view, an another do navigating to the view in the "right" (appearing then the "back" button). What should be the best way, from the point of view of user experience? Since a modal view for iPhone occupies the entire screen, there is another difference between modal and non-modal views apart from one sliding up from the botton, and the other one sliding left from the right?



Also, is it correct (and possible) to navigate through several views from a modal view displaying a back button in the navigation bar, or it should not be that way and a modal view should always display cancel and complete buttons (not a back button)?


Maybe I made a lot of questions... thanks in advance!
