Anyone seen any info if w900 will have the same scratch resistant display as s700?

I'm thinking about getting a new phone and the features of w900 looks good, I like the big screen but are conserned it will get scratched quick since it's not a clamshell.
But if it keeps the same quality of screen as s700 that most ppl seems to have been happy with it might not matter.

@dw - Why not get the P990i matey Is the S700 a scratch-resistant fone? Honestly, it is one of 's models which can acquire so MUCH scratches on it's cover, as I have seen it in the telecom shops here (2nd hand units in display). [addsig]

No, the S700 is not a particularily scratch resistant phone.
On the other hand the question was about the display, something the P***´s can´t be "accused of" having AFAIK, the non-touch displays on SE phones get a anti scratch treatment from the factory, with varying success.. i haven´t found them more scratch resistant than any other brand..

@threex - Ooops, so it's the - 'display' . . . I was keen on it's cover dude, which just like with any other model fones that can easily acquire 'scratches', specially if not taken cared of . .. . well .

Yeah to clarify again, I'm asking about the display not the rest of the phone. And doing a quick search on this forum and doing a quick browse it looked like most ppl was agreeing the display of s700 is harder to scratch then the other phone models displays. But if this is not true then by all means write that.
I already have a P900i so not gonna get p990.
What I really really want is a w900 as clamshell and a bit lighter... but hey guess never gonna make a hi-end clamshell (imho when they release a clamshell they more then often already have released a new bar phone with alot better features/hardware like better camera etc.)

The S700 screen is scratch resistant because it is made of a special glass (unlike the other phones which are plastic).

Considering the price of the phone and the similar screen size i'd guess they'd use the same material.
