I think it's obvious here that Nokia need to open up testing of the new firmwares to the community as a whole.

1. Saves them money paying testers
2. Gives them a massive amount of real world testing data
3. Confidence that when they release to the public there will be less bugs.

If open source/community works for support and application why can't it be used for the operating system?

Or alternatively more in keeping with this thread:
