In fact, the hysterical anti-overclocking claims by many of the best and brightest on this site have mostly been disproved by the passage of time.

But of course, this is quite an old story by now.
Though not entirely provable, a few of us suspect that there have been a couple of devices, at least, that have died with OC related failures. Unfortunately, it seems Nokia replaced these as well. People didn't make a big deal out of it, because we didn't want to make it sound like Nokia would repair the fault. Which in turn effects the number of N900 spares around which leaves less to those that have legitimate reason for warranty claims.
