About the winning arguments vs the sales loss. I'm not saying those no-sales aren't real or not important. What I'm trying to say is: in our context first comes the sense, then come the sales. Products that make sense are products that are more inclined to make sales (they have other factors around but without sense, sales are more complicated).

This is why I'm recommending you to convince Nokia with good arguments about what makes sense and what not. You are experts at a user and developer level, and Nokia knows that.

Convincing Nokia through sales arguments is much more complex because Nokia has probably a better knowledge at selling than you or me (I'm told that is the company selling more electronic devices packaged in a box). When you see a potential customer leaving a forum with no sale, Nokia can see many other aspects that you or me ignore.

Sure, it is always interesting to see others' opinions and you never know everything about selling (not even Nokia) but since your time is limited my recommendation is (again) that you invest it convincing Nokia in the areas where your knowledge is strong and you find poor quality, inconsistencies or competitors' advantage.
