Why do you lie?
Name one "processors engineering expert" that warned agains overclocking N900.
The warning from Nokia engineer Igor Stoppa was about 550MHz and 600MHz frequencies. Not about overclocking.
The arm designers certainly said in no uncertain words that A8 can run at up to 1GHz.

...there is no real answer.
the "hurray, my n900 runs at xy hz and no damage up to now"
as in that threat are completely useless to answer the question.

many users will have a new device in one or two years and won't see effects from damage.. and now winter comes so it gets cooled down...

It may work quite a bit better than that, or fail if you go just a little bit higher.
In the case of mobile processors, though, battery life is king and so a number of phone CPUs are significantly "underclocked" from their actual limits to produce the right batterylife/performance point.
Provided the chips don't overheat, and there is enough battery power, you may(depending on the chip) be able to safely overclock it a bit, at the expense of battery life.
In our case, I'm not sure. Our chip is -supposed- to be rated for 500mhz, and was "factory overclocked" to 600. But that doesn't mean that the hardware won't safely support more than that, nor that doing so will end up killing the chip quickly. The real problem is, we don't know what the -actual- average lifespan is at any given frequency; all we know is the -rated-/minimum lifespan, IIRC.
