Does deleting the Photo from the iphone will permanently delete them? Or fr

Does deleting the Photo from the iphone will permanently delete them? Or from resetting setting?
Hi all
I would like to delete the entire photo from my ipohne 3GS. and my question is, does deleting the photo from the album will be removed permanently ? Or from setting and resets and reset all content and setting will remove them permanently?
My point, is there any way to recover them? Because I don't want to be recovered for a reason to change a mobile or give it somebody else.
Please note that I don't prefer to synchronize with the iTune or even to connect it to the PC.

Your help is highly appreciated.

iPhone OS 3.1.2

It's flash memory, if you delete it, it's deleted. Can it be recovered? There is software & hardware available that can recover just about anything deleted from any computer or phone, but these techniques are not only expensive, but generally only available to law enforcement. If you want to securely erase all personal data on your phone, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. If you don't have a 3GS, make sure the phone is plugged into a wall outlet as this can take several hours. On a 3GS, this secure erase "should" be almost instantaneous, as the 3GS supports hardware encryption & the encryption key is deleted when you do this.
