No, just the first few. Here's an excerpt:

The thread quickly deteriorated to a mix of various "mine goes to 11" flavours and I don't even have an N900 anyway so I spared myself the pain. If there are any worthwhile posts buried in there feel free to point them out :-)

Overclocking is not in fact ill-advised.

If it is, you should immediately advise Nokia, because it is my understanding that the N900 has ALREADY been overclocked to a certain extent by Nokia.
Sigh... I can't be bothered to look up the "official" TI operational parameters of the OMAP 3430 (and they're not the whole story anyway as one of the biggest factors is the overall thermal management in the device) but at the end of the day whatever Nokia ships is what they have to support and cover by their warranty.

I really wish people would either stay within those parameters, or accept responsibility if they step outside them and damage their device. Trying to claim free warranty replacements is exactly the kind of behaviour that will give Nokia an excuse to try to prevent the rest of us from running any and all custom kernels in future devices.
