One of the new requirements of WM5 was that it now had to be installed in the flash ROM instead of the main RAM (on WM5 there is only "program" memory and not "data" memory shared anymore). Microsoft's Mike Calligaro blogged as to why this change can save lots of battery life.

If it's SRAM and not DRAM, it can keep state on 1 micrwatt of power, which is miniscule for any battery. Memory can't be read on that power level, but it'll maintain its current state. So, as long as you have a battery, or even a capacitor large enough, it'll survive long enough to change batteries.
