I cant open any apps on my iphone 4 after upgrading the software. How do I fix it?

I upgraded my iPhone 4 software yesterday and now I cant use any of my apps. I cant figure it out!

The original icons are still functioning. Eg. clock, messages. app store.

You're welcome. Not sure about the other ones though. You might have to delete them, then reinstall them. Try it with one first to see if this will fix it. To delete an app from your phone uncheck it on the apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone, then recheck it and sync again to restore it to your phone. Or, to do this from your phone, tap and hold the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the x to delete it. Then re-download it from the app store as a past purchase (you won't be charged a second time, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
