I have just recently ran into this issue from an at&t rep. who has been backed up by multiple managers and supervisors. The claim is that removing the battery on a N900 is just a soft reset and cannot, in any event, damage the device. However they all admit they know nothing about this particular device. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't ohm's law apply here? And if so couldn't the increase in power draw damage CPU pins, arc the motherboard socket, fry the regulators on the motherboard, melt traces on the motherboard or in the CPU, and do any number of other horrible things to the hardware? I have been experiencing issues since the incident as listed here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...157#post990157 Can someone provide links or other info? Google doesn't seem to be very friendly right now.
