Help me with my master of science thesis and in improving Nokia Beta Labs
I kindly ask you to take part in a survey designed to gather important information relevant to improving Nokia Beta Labs and which is the major empirical part of my master of science thesis. The survey contains roughly 21-28 questions and they are mostly multiple-choice questions. In the internal tests, the average time to do the survey was less than 5 minutes.
Three respondents will win a Nokia Maps walk and drive license for a year in their own country. If a winner does not have use for a Nokia maps license, they can opt for a Super Secret Surprise prize (carefully selected by me and Tommi, naturally) 
The survey is primarily designed for users familiar with Nokia Beta Labs, but everyone is welcome to take it.
We are addressing the following four topics with the survey:
- Your motivation to try and use Nokia Beta Labs products (Pages A1-A3)
- Your attitude towards and the level of involvement in the mobile industry (Pages B1-B2)
- General demographics, optional (Gender and year of birth) (Pages C1)
- How you fit into Nokia’s own segmentation model (Section D, number of pages varies)
The information will help us understand the users of Nokia Beta Labs better and will help us improve our service. Today, as we are planning to do changes in the Nokia Beta Labs, we have realized there are things we are not sure of. Thus, by getting more information about the community will have a direct impact on how well we can do decisions.
By knowing what your motivation to participate here is, we will be able to serve you better. By knowing more about your attitude and level of involvement we will be able to interpret your feedback better by understanding the context. General demographic information is there for us to learn something about the diversity of the community. By getting information about how you fit into the Nokia segmentation model, we can compare the composition of the community with reference data and thereby understand how the leading edge (you) differs from the mass market.
The answers are completely anonymous. After the survey, you will be asked for your email in order to participate in the raffle. The emails will not be linked with the respondent’s answers. The email addresses will also not be used in any other way except to contact the winners. After the winners have been chosen and contacted, the email data will be completely removed.
So, dear Beta Labs user, please help me with my master of science thesis and in improving Nokia Beta Labs by taking the survey!
Thank you!
Edit: The survey will close on 30th June 2008.

Survey done. Keep the great apps rolling out of beta labs!
How about a little app that displays the name and picture of a person when you receive an SMS? That would be a hit!
