Notice that only one preview has come out complaining of scratching issues. Nobody else has mentioned anything. Extrapolate from that what you wil.

Well, it's not like all the reviewers attempt to scratch it. The author of the MySymbian preview only scratched it because of having sand grains or something in his pocket. His N900 didn't come with any protected film, other review devices may have them.
Anyway, what we need is someone/reviewer to "stress test" the screen like how they did with the N97: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB1GxqRFKzw

I've had my N900 in my pocket for almost a month straight. Not a single scratch.. but I also don't do anything stupid like put my keys in there with it.

I successfully polish out scratches on the screen of my N82 with a paste of 0.3µm Aluminium Oxide / distilled water and a cotton wool bud. Can you still do this on a touch screen device, how thick is the top layer?

Anyone else noticing the same issue ?
Will a Screen Protector be almost mandatory ?
