what are you basing this claim on?
A Nokia engineer who knows way more than you do, or any other user who states overclocking is safe.

Anything above 600 is stupid, otherwise TI would've stated that, and obviously, since TI made these chips they know what they're talking about.

so where do you draw the line? don't use the device at all for fear of shortening its life span somewhat??
No, the device doesn't stay at 600 all the time, when it's under load, it maxes out, when it finishes doing something, it goes back to 250 (125 wasn't set as a minimum since it doesn't really help with battery power and actually causes the device to become unstable).

125, as I said above, wasn't disabled because Nokia want to make your battery last less, it was done for a reason.

Undervolting doesn't help in not frying the device.
