I don't get why this is used as capacitive vs resistive battleground.

You're not losing resistive screen on n900. You're getting the possibility of using capacitive screen on n900.

ps: check out Atmel maxtouch.

This whole thread is ridiculous as it's doubtful that you'll find a compatible capacitive screen, never mind integrating the chip required to drive the thing into the system which would have to go, at best, on a secondary PCB for which there is almost no space inside the N900.

That and few people are going to have the skill to do it.

tl;dr: you might be able to hack one on, but good luck finding the parts and doing it in a way that isn't totally rickety.
