When you reset pending data is gone.

Thanks to Eduardo for the link to Ben Combee's article. I also read
the follow up: http://palmos.combee.net/blog/TheNVFSFilesDmSyncDatabas.html
These two blog entries are worth the read although it is important
to note that this is old info, i.e. NVFS has been modified since
the original deployment in the 650, T5 and E2. My problem is that
majority of our users have E2's. The rest have a mix of T/X, Z22,
680, 700p and 755p.
NOTE: Ben says, "Databases are written back to flash memory on
several occasions. First, a database is written when it is closed.
Second, they are written when the user puts the device into sleep
mode. Third, they are written on a call to DmSync or
DmSyncDatabase. A soft reset of the device will not commit pending
changes." If a soft reset does not commit pending changes, does
that mean that the cache is purged and the temp data that was not
synced to the Flash is lost? Or is the data still in cache waiting
to be used? If the data in the cache is not synced or cleared from
cache then contamination that caused a crash could persist.
