If I grab a brick and drop it on my N900, it's technically bricked. =P
But yeah, just like the PSP, N900 can be brought back to life quite easily from a semi-dead state which is pretty cool.

To all the learned folk out there.
I have a N900 & I have a 32gb sd card installed as well.
My disastrous mistake was instead of formatting my 32g/b SD card which was telling me it was corrupt.
I mistakenly reformatted the phone SDC to fat 32 instead of reformatting SDD my sd card.
What are my options??
If I turn the phone off or my battery goes flat I will have a brick I am sure.
Can anybody help please?

No, it won't brick. You've lost your personal files, but nothing on the phone's internal memory(settings, apps, email and SMS) - The RootFS and OptFS are not accessable via USB.

1. Copy anything left on the phone -- there are two filesystems on two different chips on the phone -- off of the phone onto the SD card.
2. turn off and re-flash the device according to http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware - you will probably need to flash the "firmware" aka "rootfs" and also the "eMMC".

Language evolves constantly - words like 'bricked' were perhaps once defined as literally adding a new paperweight to your collection of such things, these days 'bricked' tends to mean an object is broken and requires some kind of non-standard intervention to restore it to working order. I've lived through both definitions, I'm okay with the latter. Sheer momentum has now defined this word as what it is now, like or not.
I guess everyone has a pet peeve, this one is not mine though :-)

Unless it's a hardware failure, the SOC bootrom allows downloading code over the USB interfaces (both the regular charge/data port and the testing pads under the battery).

Also "uninstalling your kernel" is probably not a smart thing to do.
