If you want to get your data from the storage memory there is only one other way: Use hammer, rip off the flash and send it to Ontrack or other data recovery company.
If the value of data is lover than device itself, just perform HR and... remember about backup.

Hey man, I've had the exact same thing on mine with WM5 half a year ago, I was able to reboot it after (I believe) the 17th or 18th reset, but flashed another ROM on there afterwards,

Must say, if you should have SPB Plus installed you can press and hold the windows mobile screen and it will boot in safe mode...

Besides this, sorry, no option, unless if you just want to retrieve data on there, press record + camera button on the 4 colored boot screen and clear your registry, this should normally leave everything on the storage... But all the apps installed afterwards won't load anymore of course...

Don't really know, always try to have all on my pc (contacts - calendar) so after synchro all is back immediatly, the easiest way if you wanna flash your device on every Rom that gets posted here :-)

But you might have a look at one of these perhaps
