But then a few days later I forgot about it and installed some random devel software. Though I am more careful about what I install, which makes it harder to test apps, since sometimes it's the ones that make your device unstable that need the most testing.
I wouldn't test when I'm out and about.. I test when I can test. I'd have no reservations of "bricking" my N900.. because it's only a flash away to back to normal.

I'd install a single devel software, play with it, use it, test the phone.. if I'm good I'm good. Next time I have 15 mins.. I'll install another one. I do this already with my rooted android. Only once did it ever interfere with me actually being able to use the "phone"... I flashed a ROM that required a radio update before the radio update.. yay for boot hangs.

However, if it was really all that critical for me to get my phone back that instant.. the ability to flash the previous ROM was right there on the device ready for me.
