Countless threads are talking about "bricked" my N900 etc etc etc and i feel its very unfair indeed to use the word BRICKED in the case of the N900 . . .

I agree with you. Way too much 'fear-mongering' and even blatant trolling about how the N900 can be bricked.

Just some quick examples:

If this situation is looked at properly and implemented in the right way to actually stop people from installing dangerous untested apps (and some tested i might add!) then i am sure their will be a lot less bricked, rebooting problems occuring on this forum.
Etc, etc, etc...
