What are people doing to their N900's...???

I've had mine since the start of December too and haven't flashed it yet... And I'm not counting on doing it anytime soon...

I've tested several apps/games from both testing and devel too...

Also did a quite a lot of hacking/tweaking (carefully... as on any other system/OS), and no problems whatsoever...!

Makes me wonder if those who constantly re-flash their devices are the same who re-install their WinBlows box once a week "for better performance" (after downloading tons of "great free software" from sites with names like http://www.verytrustysoftwarethatdoe...ethatatall.com) ...?

...or you just happen to know what you're doing. I haven't flashed mine either.

I did but only to change from US to UK :P and not the eMMC.

I must admit I like my OSes which ever they might be, clean and I usually format every 6 months just cause

Isn't the battery only rated for 6 hours of constant use?

I've had (2) 900s, over a month's time period, and have not had to flash either one.

Don't give me the Winblows thing since certain applications always leave resources behind like pointless logs and any kind of newly created file... in time, they might gather.
