I know I can swap the screen myself, I also know that I can get like 130 euros from my old unit, and the new one costs 240 or so. Damn.... so I would save like 30 euros if I buy new screen. Maybe, if I can get a replacement screen from US then I could save some cash.
Seriously, try applying a screen protector to your screen first. They sometimes do wonders in hiding scratches.

You don't even have to buy a N800-specific one to test it; maybe a store in your neighbourhood has old Palm (or whatever) protectors lying around that you could pick up for cheap to experiment with.

If it works, here:

They don't scratch (at least not within the first ten months of purchase) and they have absolutely no effect on the appearance of the screen. If anything, the anti-reflective coating makes the N800's screen even better.
