Bricking it to the functional level of a brick is pretty hard to do, but saying that messing the device (OS) up is VI, is a stretch beyond any known modulus of elasticity

Botch your CMT MCSU and use flasher --disable-cmt-verify. See what happens.
The N900 has JTAG-ability, so the majority of all things CAN be fixed, you just need the proper hardware and software.

After all this isn't your average, locked-down cellphone, now is it?

I am astonished to know any programmer that would deliberately kamikaze his N900 lol

This thread is going to get very interesting lol and as we are talking about high level language source code, you would need full source available to even access break points and as we are talking about progression here why would anyone want to burn bridges? This is pure speculation here unless its coming from the Nokia development team that worked on the prototype.

These aren't really for show or anything, you can connect something to these pads, probably with fancy pogo stick thingies. Just like the first xbox and almost every router in the world.
The only thing you need is $10 in DIY or a $2700 'professional' JTAG programmer (BDI-2000)

having JTAG is not a "ballsup" as you so eloquently put it. A LOT of consumer devices have contacts for JTAG. It's there for a purpose and 99% of the time, consumers don't know about it.
I can see why people have been bashing you. Dummy.
