HOW MANY TIMES I CAN FLASH MY N900
In theory: infinite, until the SSD craps out on you.
In practice: how much time do you have?

Not if you do it right

It's hard to see how flashing your N900 20, 50 or even 100 times would cause any issue.

Eventually flash memory does degrade, and repeatedly writing to it does speed this up, but unless you're re-flashing your phone all day every day I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Tip: questions asked in ALL CAPS may not get the best answers...
