the only good example I know is tablet Samsung Galaxy Active 8, where capacitive touch works with fingernail or thin metal objects. but still, it's way too far from perfect N900 resistive stylus use.
still there's no cheap and easy way to do multitouch on resisitive touch screen afaik. Would take a multitouch capable screen over a non-multitouch capable screen. Also modern UI also are more forgiving and is designed such that absolute precision tapping is not required, which is a good thing in general IMHO. Having to use a sharp stylus to tap a tiny target is a torture.
