OK, a small advantage. Multi-touch is no biggie, I found it to be clumsy in practice.

But a good resistive like the N900 is far more versatile and useful. Coming from a capacitive screen phone to the N900 was a revelation and I'm hoping never to have to go back to a capacitive screen.

So at least be honest about Nokia's reason to switch. Which (mostly) is the public's perception that capacitive is better, which in turn is due almost entirely to the fact that's what the iPhone and Android phones use.

Anyway, since marketing will dictate a capacitive screen, at least be smart about it and include a pull-out stylus like the N900. It would help offset the loss of fingernail input somewhat.
