numb is on the ball, the analogy you use is a little flawed arne.
It's like buying a gigabyte motherboard and flashing it with an abit bios because it gives an option that gigabyte don't.
The manufacturer would not accept a warranty claim on it because the internal operating software written to make the product go has been tampered with.
An OS is a choice, linux, windows, neither invalidate a motherboard warranty because they're usable over multiple platforms. (well more so in linux  )
By installing a new OS you aren't invalidating anything.
By installing a new bios, you are. (and thats precisely what you're doing to these phones, rewriting them from the core up)
Thus if damaged, how can the manufacturer NOT blame the fact that "alien" software has been put on a device it is not intended for at all.
We can all argue that they're the same hardware platforms, but in the end if you place software on the phone that it is not expressly designed for, you are taking the responsibility - not the manufacturer.
Exactly the same as a P905 upgrade too. it may not be exactly the same haveware but you're still forcing alien software onto the phone.
After all, what would you say to  if you rang them after doing a P905 upgrade saying "my bt headset doesn't work when I put your P910i software on my P900"
I wouldn't be offended if they hung up laughing.
