I realized, by the way, that your poll succinctly shows how to write such a skewed poll.

You give a few options and force people who don't agree with you a utopian, practically impossible choice to express their disagreement.

Example: How do you feel about Obama? (This is not a political statement. Do NOT try this poll at home!)

1. Obama is the Messiah.

2. Obama has some real problems.

Obviously, the same people willing to respond with alternative 1 are the kind of people who would be willing to say that the N900 is "fraking awesome". So, if your aim is to construct a poll giving option 2 a huge advantage, you have demonstrated the algorithm.
