3. Canola has better volume and folder options for media, but takes 60 to 70% cpu (bleh)
4. Played Duke Nukem several times (longest one hour). No heat issues compared to 600mhz- seems the same.
5. Helps PSX4ALL and MAME a bunch
6. Nice bridge for Flash until 10.1 is released (I may go down to the 700 mhz when it is).

Of course, for all good things, there tends to be bad things. Battery drains quicker for a device that already is battery life challenged. Wifi on, playing Duke N, playing a few Flash games, watching a few Flash vids and browsing the web- less than three hours before needed a recharge.

All said, it would be better for Nokia to release a more efficient version of the OS, Flash 10.1 beta and better audio and video drivers, rather than tweet about not OC the N900. Most of us simply want the device to perform as it does when OC'd.
Just food for thought, after (hypothetically) they make the device so it runs @ 600MHz like it runs now @ 800 MHz, will you be tempted to OC it again to 800 and post the exact same thing? (;

(Don't get angry I can relate to your post 100%, I am just kidding).
