No, a screen protector is highly recommended. I use the Boxwave Anti-glare.

nope. if it's not glass, it's not resistant to scratches. i use capdase smudge proof matte finish. fingerprints are minimal though it reduces clarity on the screen.

It is as scratch proof as man's chest is bullet proof.

It is not scratch proof, but it is scratch resistant enough for me. I have had mine for over 10 months with no screen protector and no scratches.

I guess it depends on your definition of scratch. I'd say it's physically impossible not to have abrasive material on your fingertips for much of those 10 months - no matter how clean the environment. The N900 screen is plastic, the dust and gunk you get on your fingers can be as tough as diamond - put those two together and you WILL have scratches on your screen, even if by your definition you don't.

If you want your screen to remain scratch free, then buy a screen guard.

At least the plastic doesn't shatter like glass on iphone. Also, if you rub plastic a little, it's sometimes possible to make the scratch less visible.

It is very scratch prone... regardless if you're comparing it to the iPhone 4 or not that's currently breaking.

I highly recommend the OtterBox case for the n900. For about $30 US you get a very good case that fits exceptionally well, provides silicone covers for the plugs, and provides a screen protector. I bought one for my n900, and I'm very satisfied so far. The only "problem" is that it is a little difficult to remove the case if you need to change your battery or sim card.
