most mkv will have higher resolution.
There are a number of factors that can cause a video to be unplayable on the N900 (or any other cell phone) -- the display resolution, the compression factor (or bitrate), the codec, the file format, etc.

But all of these can be amended by re-encoding the video into a form the cell phone can use. A video is, ultimately, just data; converting that data from one format to another is easy.
