For community matters, it's easy: it's Quim. Similarly there are a number of other contacts on similar matters.

But, as has been pointed out, Nokia believe they have appropriate consumer research programmes in place. I think it's impossible to tell, from such a large, complex black box, whether they are effective or not. So, on a lack of evidence, I'll believe the people who say that they are.

I'm pretty sure Quim and Peter would love to say "tada, here's Flash 10 to download"; I don't think it's a lack of knowledge.
It isn't just consumer research-- the reverse logistics/repair/replace functions are broken. I've seen it from the inside and out.

When I was with the tablet program I found out real quick that our systems and process could not support tablet repair and replacement operations. Care personnel couldn't even enter a product ID! There was no way at all to track returned products! I can only hope that was finally fixed.

But there are 2 stories really: Nokia's problems adding and supporting tablets/mobile computers to the chain and their general perception as failing in Care.

I only want to address the former vis-a-vis this community. No offense at all to Quim, but IF the council's role expanded, we would need engagement not just from community channels but technical, logistic, etc. The community wants these products to succeed, in general, and there's pent up desire to do help.

I personally want to help Nokia improve its customer engagement. I have the necessary knowledge and experience. And for a while I've been in the right place. Now, if other council members disagree and/or Nokia refuses then so be it. It's soon to be moot for me anyway...
