soft reset = holding down power-button
hard reset = removing battery
hard reset = removing battery

I understand a hard reset to be removing all data on the device, and a soft reset the equivalent to a "reboot".
I am looking for the equivalent of a reboot (no data loss).
Any thoughts?

a reset (either hard or soft) has nothing to do with removing any data.
a soft reset is rebooting a device the way its supposed to (more or less)
a hard reset is rebooting a device by physically removing its power source (like on a computer by pulling the power-cord or turning off the psu. or pulling the battery on a cellphone)

i think "reset" is like as in "factory reset", if you're tlaking about just rebooting, then it's reboot, not reset

The word "reset" has two different meanings here.
Factory reset is when the flash file systems are reprogrammed to known state.
But reset is also the name when an IC is receiving a reset signal to place all logic gates in a known state.
Removing the battery is a power-on reset.
Actuating the "reset" pin on the chips is a hard reset.
Having the software issuing the reset represents a soft reset.

Does anyone know if there is a any "reset" button to perform the equivalent of taking the battery out and putting it back in?
Assume the N900 is off and locked up, pressing power button does nothing, only battery removal helps.
Thanks
