We are currently seeking cell phone and smartphone enthusiasts from the Seattle area to evaluate mobile devices that are still under development. This is an exciting opportunity to see some of our upcoming products, and help determine the direction we take with future mobile devices!"</i><br /><br />Psssttt....

And for inteller, "evaluate mobile devices that are still under development". The chain isn't very long on those devices :)

Nah. they must physically burn new ROMs for you (no way these installers will be allowed on any non-MS controlled machine) and they often interview you one on one to get more out of the feedback, something that requires personal contact.
