Nokia has a list of 100% of the registered Nokia tablet users, of course, so it could get a very good sample with no effort. Nokia just doesn't care.

I get questions in the mail all the time from Netflix, but never from Nokia.
They even entice entries into the poll with the exciting possibility of winning some Sennheiser headphones.
And, I'd be very surprised if Nokia didn't have other formal market research mechanisms.

Wow, just got to reading this and the responses are quite interesting. I'm part of the pro-3g camp, but only if stupid cellular internet prices go down. Otherwise I'll stick with tethering/wifi.
As for the video out option, that one surprised me, and yet it doesn't. I've actually wanted some form of video out for a while so I could use wearable video goggles or something similar. So something like that would be an awesome accessory!
Just thought I'd toss in my $1.95 on this. (That my 2c with inflation, interest and taxes added on. hehe.)

As anyone knows, polls based on someone going to some site are not very accurate (see CNN live polls, for example), but email polls should be better.

If you think a company like Nokia makes the investment needed to push a platform and new devices without any market research, think again.
We just need to convince them to show us the data and reports from the polls, etc.

In order to use such mechanism you need to get the permission from users, and this causes another bias in the results.
This is why market research is done around several methods, some more quantitative, some more qualitative. For instance, have you thought about the feedback received through the customer care and the distributor channels? All these sources throw plenty of data on your plans and then you need to make choices and decisions to design whatever devices, software, services, marketing activities...
So yes, these polls here are valuable but they are not absolute and must be read within a wider context. Who is wrong? Who is right? At the end some products make users happy and are sustainable or even profitable, and some others are beaten by someone else or fail themselves.
Until now the progression 770 - N800 - N810 has been overall positive, and such progression was made listening potential and current customers in different ways. Same with the next products to come. Business as usual.

Ctrl should never be on the left, on a slide out thumb keyboard. They should swap ctrl and tab. On the right side, they should swap space and enter (having enter right next to alt strikes me as a really bad idea).
But, I like that someone made a 4 row keyboard that has a dedicated number row :-)

It is intuitively obvious that lots of the people who bought tablets would be interested in buying a tablet, so the point of such a poll is unclear in some ways.
Someone here said that a million tablets have been sold; if this is true, I don't understand why Nokia would want to delay the release of a new tablet, as Nokia has. Surely a million is not nothing to Nokia. So I suspect that that number is wrong.
