Did you install sshd? I would think that even though the default user cannot login (hence the black screen) you should still be able to ssh in as root, since his path is not screwed, and fix it up.

Note: That'll only work if sshd is already started (otherwise it's an excellent idea)

Install ssh via application manager.
From a (linux) PC run:
This should execute the command without spawning a login shell (a.k.a. without sourcing .profile). If this fails then you can always try to set the root password (I believe that openssh asks for the root password when it is installed) and connect as root:Code:ssh user@n900 "mv .profile .profile.no"
Code:ssh root@n900

PS In one week my N900 it's totally unuseful... I'm afraid of myself!

Reflashing is not the only solution I think. There should be "safe mode" -like something. Maybe R&D mode can do it for you. Even if it does not, you can boot another OS or chroot to your N900 -which I dont know how to do, btw- and repair your broken files.
on Desktop GNU/Linux, even if you mess up your boot manager, or something critical for system, you can still log-in to your system for rescue/repair using a LiveCD.
