I couldn't :(

I wasn't able to connect via ssh to the phone because my bad script was
intended to be executed at booting up and set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable, but I forgot to add "execute" permission to that script and I
rebooted the phone, and I think that caused maemo not to load any
service.

I think there should be a recovery mode, most of the linux kernels
accept flags to start just a simple terminal in vga mode.

I am a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara, USA, we received some

By the way, I flashed my device and I have it back! =)
