Has anyone had any problems with the leds overheating? I am concerned about using the flashlight app in case the N900 is not designed to handle the leds being kept on. If it was designed to handle it, why not have it built-in to the camera application (that said a friend of mine demonstrated how lacking the camera app is compared to his 5800XM so perhaps its just missing in action like many settings are)?
I came from an Xperia X1 which did have a problem with the led burning out if you used it as a flashlight for more than about a minute. When shooting video it could be on a long time and I do not fancy breaking my N900.
That said, I think on the N900 you can access the LEDs directly and you would think the driver would prevent it being left on for longer than intended. In the X1 it was a hack in the camera library to access the LED, as by default it only functioned as a flash.
