its a strange way to mess up a n900 :P i think that easy debian is very stable, but you are there and now you need to get out of there.
Thats not called a brick, but a reset loop, and usually is resolved by flashing the n900
There are two levels of flashing, the root partition and the emmc partition.
You need to flash only the root partition, so you will lose your installed applications, but not your data (sms, contacts, etc).

Warning: Offtopic:
Have you realized how there is new vocabulary evolving around N900...."unbrick my phone" Kind of reminds me of Tony Braxton's "unbreak my heart"

lost my Linux verginity today, just reflashed the device and I feel all happy and tingly inside
all's back to normal, thank you all
but I've bricked my device and don't know where the problem is to search for a solution
I set my N900 to download (over wifi) the neccessary files for easy debian and left it there, when I came back to it the device was off and it only gets to the 5 dots and resets and goes off
so any ideas how I can bring it back to life?
