Nokia R&D teams: would you be interested in closed beta testing through Beta Labs?

Note: this is a LazyWeb question for Nokia people only. Others, please ignore.
We are thinking about adding closed* beta testing opportunity to Nokia Beta Labs, in addition to the current open/public betas. In practice, Beta Labs would offer an easy-to-use beta management tool, and a recruiting channel for an exceptionally insightful user community. In simple cases, if everything goes well, it might not cost you anything extra.
Please send me an email if you are interested.
* = a closed beta is available only to a select few users, and the SW distribution and feedback system happens behind firewalls.
Update: umm... seems that I wasn't clear enough. This post was intended for Nokia R&D teams, not for Nokia users. Thanks for all volunteers, but currently, Nokia doesn't do closed beta tests through Beta Labs. I just wanted to change all that. I'll let you know whether this idea flies or not.

Consider me in for the Nokia Closed Group Beta Testing

Count on me, please. :)
@Horia
You nailed it. ;) Maybe I should have placed few smileys in my comment, but I kind of expected this is going to get those "Can I have some candy too?" comments. But I'm still kind of surprised that Nokia hasn't done this earlier. And I'm raising my hat to Tommi for making it happen, cos I think it's going to keep the standard high in Beta Labs software.
@Heikki, you could even argue the opposite, though. That by posting this here they're being very open about what they're going to do in private. :-).
@Heikki,
As you saw he (i.e. Tommi) wrote: "Please send me an email if you are interested." So, nothing (very) public.
Maybe Tommi must delete this post, its externl feedback is hilarious ("C'mon Nokia, I love you, love me back and get me in the trials").
Hi friends,

Don't you have any internal ways to contact your own employees? This kind of fights against the openess this site is about.
It is a great idea, and I'm wondering how separate your r&d groups are at the moment... I don't think it's wise to do this publicly if you are not making it public.
Really, I'd like to participate. Besides I
