The license and terms there say they provide no warranty _for that software_, it doesn't in any way or form remove warranty from those supplied with the phone or from the phone hardware itself.

Alright, thanks, so I was right. This does seem to be (another?) case with Nokia employee stupidity, eh? :p I'll still wait for more comments on this, since I got interested.

Ah. So the topic is misleading. Alright, I think that's about it, right?

I cannot find any mention in any legal papers so far that flashing N900 would cause one to lose warranty on any parts of the OS or the hardware itself. Not to mention the fact that Nokia even themselves suggest you to flash it if you encounter issues.

Considering that N900 is aimed as a developer phone and even Nokia's own documents refer to re-flashing several times I simply don't believe the customer support operative was indeed correct.

I should have probably read the OP more carefully :)
