I am doing this for different purposes. I'd like to know what happens to my X50/WM5 after it runs out of power.

1-Would that know how to detect a low power condition then destages the whole environment (RAM contents + Registry, etc..) back to Built in Storage before it dies, so when the power s back, I will find my X50v as same as before.

2-Or (I hope it is not true..), it will just perform a hard-reset but my PIM will survive but all my 3rd party program settings + Today Plugins, etc..will be gone...

I just experienced the case#2 after a sudden hard-reset. I had to restore from a previous backup to actually get everything back (as I did with WM2003SE before)
I'e had a hard reset since upgrading to WM5 as well as the battery completely draining (my fault - I forgot to turn off the WiFi). In the first case it rebooted to a blue WM5 screen and then after less than a minute restarted with all my data and programs intact. In the second case after I replaced the battery I got a hard reset and again all the data and applications were intact. Interestingly the backup battery had drained down to 20%. I wonder what would have happened on a x51v without the backup battery?
