Thanks in advance

The default behaviour of the back button is to save changes for dirty screens. Rewrite the onClose() method to overwrite the default behaviour.

    public boolean onClose() {
        int choice = Dialog.ask(Dialog.D_YES_NO, "¿Do you want to exit?", Dialog.YES);

        if (choice == Dialog.YES) {
             //write a close() routine to exit
            close();
        }   
        return true;
    }

You return true because you managed the ESC button pressed event. Review the Screen class docs.

You can also change the default behaviour of the ESC button rewriting the keyChar method as follows:

    protected boolean keyChar(char character, int status, int time) {
        if (character == Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE) {
            onClose();
            return true;
        }
        return super.keyChar(character, status, time);
    }

close() should be somenthing like:

public void close() {
    System.exit(0);
}
