The OS in in non-volatile memory so it's safe. You data in main memory would be lost when the power is lost (batteries go flat). Your data in Built In Storage and Storage Cards would have survived.
These are battery operated devices. I think it probably does say somewhere that you'll lose your data in the documentation, but regardless it's common knowledge (no offense). Ironically with WM2005 they are moving to using persistant storage for data so it should be a non-issue.
To prevent it from happening again:
1 - understand that if the batteries go flat you will lose data
2 - keep your batteries charged. If you have problems being away from power then consider a bigger battery. Or set a recurring calendar reminder to charge.
3 - Backup on a regular basis. Again a calendar reminder is good.
These are good habits to get into, even with WM2005 around the corner.
