Soft Reset Question

[CosmoPilot]

I just came from the 800w. To soft reset, you either needed the soft reset software, or pull the battery. With the 800w, when you held the "END" key, it just shut the antenna's off. The PDA functionality still worked.

When you performed a soft reset, it actually shut the entire phone down and re-booted.

My question is, with the TP2, when you hold the power button down, it shuts completely off. When you press and hold it again, it re-boots as my old 800w did.

Is this a "soft reset?" If so, why the reset button behind the battery door. If not, what's the difference?

Thanks for splaining...
