Well, the N900 is not for everyone. I personally prefer the accuracy that resistive screens allow. I live in an area where the winters are quite cold and I am very happy that I can use the device with a stylus. Sure, there screen will get a bit scratched over time if you don't use a protective sheet over it, but these are not visible when the screen is On, only when the device is turned off. Some users have reported success in removing scratches using a bit of polishing paste. I have used resistive screens for years. I am not worried about that.
