Does remote wipe truly wipe data on the iPhone?

Zones: iPhone, Exchange Email Server, Apple Hardware

Tags: Microsoft / Apple, Exchange 2003 ActiveSync / iPhone, Exchange 2003 / iPhone 2.0

I have ActiveSync working on an iPhone and installed the mobile admin tools on our Exchange Server 2003 SP2. When I go to the mobile admin page on the Exchange server, I only see the options to "Block" or "Delete". I do not see a "Wipe" option. From the mouse-over text for those options, it appears that neither of them actually wipe any data on the iPhone. "Block" just says it prevents the iPhone from syncing again and "Delete" just says it deletes state information on the Exchange server. Am I missing something here or does the remote wipe option not quite work as advertised for an iPhone?
