I have been part of RIM’s BlackBerry Market Research Panel for quite awhile and its a pretty rewarding experience. You get some insight into what RIM is interested in terms of future products and features. A good portion of the questions in the past have been focused on the enterprise but there are some consumer questions starting to dominate recent surveys.
My buddy Douglas, who is now working at RIM, let me know that they are now hosting an open call for BlackBerry smartphone users, IT administrators, decision makers, and RIM partners to join their online panel. You submit some information about you and then RIM decides if you are accepted or not. If you are then RIM will send you a monthly email with a quick 5-10 minute survey.
You can sign up at the following links:

- Join the BlackBerry Market Research Panel – Spanish (SPAIN)

I have actually quit filling out these surveys based on the GP that I can’t do them from my BlackBerry…

i wasn’t able to login to the panelist portal on my storm (which i thought was a little ironic), but by participating as a panelist, i hope to gain some insight on where they are going, and hopefully, my survey responses will help them improve the functionality of their products.

I’ve been doing it for a few months now. The questions always sound redundant, but I hope RIM is getting some useful days from all thor answers.
