1. There is no "new" (as in the sense of dirty, busy, etc.) flag.
2. The concept of "new" only has sense relative to some other data store
and during a synchronization operation. If it exists in your data store
(device), does not exist in another data store (desktop, server, whatever),
and should be added to the other data store, then we can call it "new".
Note that dirty and not existing in the other data store isn't quite
accurate. Consider the case of synchronization at multiple desktops. The
dirty flag will get cleared at the first desktop sync, so when the device
moves to the second destop the record will not be marked dirty.

There's your answer. If a record is marked as dirty and it doesn't
already exist on the PC side during a HotSync, then you can consider it
new.
