The N900 screen is not AMOLED, but TFT. I understood your question.

You are correct, and downscaling resolution means increased CPU usage (the CPU must compute the "downgrade" in resolution). So it might not increase battery performance. It might, however, increase game/app performance (then again, it might not - depends on implementation).
