It sounds like it's all hit or miss. Pretty much like overclocking... Some devices do fine and others not so much. I currently have v40 and when v42 came out I read of problems but nothing like .45 or .46. I have the update for .46 sitting in the download queue but I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet... Maybe this weekend

I think the tail is wagging the dog here...
Instead of pulling from the devel repo and reporting problems with new features with that version. We should instead be reporting and Voting on version 42 in testing.
>> http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist
>> http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....6.28-maemo42/
That way this testing version either gets promoted or bugs get squashed and the subsequent versions in devel move up the queue...
Those wanting to report bugs with the devel versions should:
Life as it should be.
For those interested in overclocking with PR1.3, version 42 in testing has worked fine for me with none of the other problems reported in this thread.
Camera works, mass storage works...

HEAR HEAR!!
I really wish there was a more foolproof and reliable method for people to do exactly as you suggest, but sadly people are .... not always that foolproof and reliable
version .42 works beautifully for me as well and hasn't presented a lick of instability yet.

UBoot does not make charging impossible or a problem. Okay, I am pretty sure you can't boot normally, with the charger out, and then stick the charger in while it's on the uboot screen, and get it to start charging that way. But I know for a fact that if your N900 is off, and you plug it in to the charger, you will get a light-less uboot screen. Which, if you DON'T TOUCH, will complete its countdown and then load the kernel, which will THEN drop into the normal off-but-charging mode.
I don't know how you people didn't figure that out. Okay, maybe some hardware revisions play differently with uboot. Maybe. But I kinda doubt it. So what I really think is that the people who killed their battery unable to charge didn't have the patience to sit there for a few minutes after plugging in the cable when their device was off. That, or the kernel attached to their uboot was f'ed up, and then that's not really uboot's problem.
