I'm not sure if it's possible with the n900's screen, not with any kind of real accuracy anyway. However, you might want to check out http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qtouchevent-touchpoint.html and try pressure() it to see if it works.
If this doesnt work, what you may be able to detect is how much of the screen is being pressed, for example a light touch of a finger tip compared to a jolly big prod with a thumb. Or the length of time an area is touched. However I'll be interested in your results to see if it works consistently.

Code:
qreal TouchPoint::pressure () const Returns the pressure of this touch point. The return value is in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

Doesn't one of the paint programs on here do that? Do a search for the announcements for the paint programs. I'm sure one of them gets this info somehow. It may not be available directly in QT, but if you know how to do it in another language maybe someone can write a device specific module for it?

The program is most likely mypaint. It detects pressure fairly well and is written in python. I think some wrote a small testing app/script for pressure.
good luck

Pressure reading should be very accurate if we had the software working...
The example script is here:

There is a bug report on this - vote for it!
