@TA-t3 - It's SD and I'm sure of the behaviour as I've performed data recovery on the space and tested it.

You've misquoted Wikipedia there as well (outrageous behavior)
effect is partially offset in some chip firmware or file system drivers by counting the writes and dynamically remapping blocks in order to spread write operations between sectors; this technique is called wear levelling
anyway, this is moot until someone tests the N900.
