Hi James, Ah. That makes more sense: it doesn't "reset" the phone; it simply causes a crash. On my phone, I can't reproduce the crash so it must depend on a few factors. But your explanation makes a lot more sense: I wondered how this could possibly be a normal reset! The springboard by the way guys, is only a portion of the iOS operating system so the entire device is not rebooted when you do this.
Anyways, when you crash any computer you're liable to lose data or corrupt some settings, so personally I would never recommend forcing a crash. On the other hand, iOS as I said is pretty resilient, so causing true system "corruption" would be very very difficult indeed.
