As I've been going through these (and other) forums I've found the term "bricked" used several times. If I interpret it correctly it means an irreversible state from where there's no return.
So what I don't get is how is it possible to "brick" the N900 if one can reflash it with factory ROM any time. Can a permanent damage be done to the internals of the N900 with running some code?
Any help clearing up my confusion is greatly appreciated.

technically, all those bricks that you read about on the n900 are not bricks, because you can "revive" the device by reflashing it.
"brick" means it becomes completely useless.
