Hmm... maybe doing all those Beta testing again.... >< Test the market to see whether we prefer glossy clolors or matte black? Or it can be glossy just matches color and matte feels better with dark colors?
Do you mean matte surface tends to get oily stains on it?
How about glossy, is it better to use if I have a sweaty hands/ in an oily environment?
YES. Matte surface tend to show oily stain on it. I'm talking through my experience of using a matte black N9, matte black One X and glossy white Lumia 900. At the very least, glossy surface allows me to just wipe the oils away without too much of a problem. Matte surface on the other hand tend to be a hit or miss. Heck, my N9 are having quite a bit of non wipeable oil stains. Truly heartbreaking.
Don't get me wrong, matte surface is probably the best one to hold and look. It just oozes premium. But practical wise, I'd go for glossy phones. Preferably those with striking color, as to mask the fingerprints.

Glossy looks great on my white lumia 900, no problem and why would anyone pay attention to your phone's back? Chances that you will probably put a flipcase/cover/shield for your phone. And it doesn't look cheap plastic like some phones out there.
Like me, the phone is naked with a screen protector, scratch is very obvious on the rounded metal on the back, how about scratch on the glossy surface? not that obvious unless you slide your phone along the road.
Sadly enough, my glossy white Lumia 900 have a deep scratch at the back, although not that obvious unless I truly looking for it, but still...heartbreaking nonetheless.
Last last I bought the original Nokia silicon case for Lumia 900, cyan color. Looks much better IMHO.
