I've been in R&D mode for about 2-3 weeks and haven't detected any differences at all.

mm.. somewhere i read "R&B mode is not a mode your device should run every day" or samoethinglike that..
EDIT.. I remember..
"Summarized, R&D mode is for debugging purposes, and so it's not a mode the N900 should run in everyday" in http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install i read that

I also read that.

So far I haven't come across any problems with it at all. That's about all the information I have.

If you do decide to enable R&D mode, you must understand the risks. It is entirely possible to disable R&D mode though.

well one reason i can think of is, RD mode disables watchdog service, a service which reboots ur phone when it detects something has crashed. watchdog will reboot the device when u try to boot android after sometimecoz it doesnot detect maemo and thinks the phone has crashed. so we keep RD mode on to disable watchdog and use android

u dont have to flash the device atall. ur only flashing kernel. it will not change any files or data etc. what you have to do is copy android system files to memory card, flash a new kernel which will understand the android files in the memory card and you will be booting android off the sd card. it will not do anyting to maemo

RD Mode gives you ROOT/SU access to your N900 before you could download root via HAM.
