Nope, the N900 had 800x480 resolution in a 3.5 inch display (267 ppi), very good for its day, and with a stylus you could select a spot within just a few pixels without trouble. The key is that a capacitive screen has to try to detect a weak electrical signal affecting a general region of the screen, whereas a resistive display can detect the exact spot which is being pressed.
