I have pulled the battery from my (half)running Samsung OmniaHD a bazillion times when it got stuck yet again. Never hurt the hardware. And that phone uses the same TI OMAP package as N900.
It cant harm the hardware, but surely can screw the software.

Thanks. I'm glad I can rule out hardware damages.
What software damage may happen and through what way?

I often switch batteries, and a number of times I didn't notice I was pulling the battery on a still-running N900. It didn't do any apparent harm.
However, if it had I would simply reboot and run Backupmenu and be fixed again in minutes.

Backupmenu works differently. You don't boot to maemo and then use app called Backupmenu.You use it before maemo even starts to boot.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't ohm's law apply here?
And if so couldn't the increase in power draw damage CPU pins, arc the motherboard socket, fry the regulators on the motherboard, melt traces on the motherboard or in the CPU, and do any number of other horrible things to the hardware?
I have been experiencing issues since the incident as listed here:

Can someone provide links or other info? Google doesn't seem to be very friendly right now.
