so this means that i will have to return whatever they send me and if it gets lost in the mail i'm responsible....

wow! who knows, if they send me a desktop to "beta-test" i hope i don't have to pay return postage.

EDIT: FORGOT TO ADD

fyi, i did beta test for other companies (Netgear, etc....). They let me keep the routers/stuff they sent me as a token of appreciation for the beta test i did. (the N-routers they sent me were like $100 in stores and online)

Thanks!

Everyone "gets in", its just to be in their database. They will email you when there are beta tests that you can "APPLY" for. So just because you're in their database now, doesn't mean anything. It's the same as Centercode, maybe 2 or 3 people on SD will get picked. And as a member you might see 2 or 3 Beta Products a year, some never see any.

And yes, you will have to return the products in the original packaging. They send you a return label if you qualify for a beta test. When the product comes on the market they will send you the one you tested, which can take awhile ( sometimes months to a year )

Now as a big fan of Centercode, I can say they have been great to work with. I love the company and how this Dell one runs like Centercode.

I do wish that the email us "centercode testers" received which said it was exclusive for us had user specific links though. Its not really exclusive now is it? I don't blame the OP though, because someone else would have posted it anyways.

Good info BostonGirl....

BostonGirl - you summed up the process very well. I did receive this "exclusive" invitation yesterday at 4:49 CST probably because my main platform is a Dell. So perhaps it's a fair statement that Dell users registered through Centercode received the exclusive invitation? Just thinking out loud. :bulb:

Furthermore, since my email did say exclusive, that was an indication for me NOT to release it to a public forum; however, I knew it would find it's way here anyway. I feel that everyone should have a fair shot at this and hope that the "non" exclusive applicants have an equal chance.

Regardless, you are correct of returning the products and it's only common sense since these products are not yet released to the public. They will in fact compensate you for the same product or something very comparable as you stated above.

Good luck to all of you who applied.

That's why I said in my first post on this thread, "It was exclusive...." It kind of goes both ways- if you actually got this email (like I did) I would think you would want to fill it out and not post it for thousands of others, because now you have pretty much diminished your chances of getting picked for a test. But I also know that's what this site is for, to share stuff. Oh well. :shake:

They know who was already in the database and who wasn't. It shouldn't make that much of a difference in the end.

Thank you for your interest in our beta tester community. Please find out about this exciting opportunity below.

Beta tests allow you to identify areas of further improvement for our products and services. We are looking for active customers and users who will confidentially test new products and services and share their feedback before they are officially announced.


You will have the chance to confidentially test a new product or service before anyone else knows about them.
Furthermore you will have the chance to directly interact with Dell's design teams to further improve our products and services.
You will be eligible for Dell Beta Test Incentives to recognize your efforts in the beta testing of a new product or service.

hmmm... to waste time or not. Looks like this is from Centercode. I've applied for EASILY 30+ beta tests. Never been picked. :(

Thanks so much, would love to be a dell tester!! :)

I agree. It has been over a year since I first joined them (I think they were called onlinebeta, or something like that back then) & I was not picked for any beta tests. My assumption for that was because I had done computer/electronics beta tests for other companies in the past & previously worked for some of the companies that they were doing beta tests for.

I ended up closing my account with them a couple weeks ago because of getting multiple emails per day for multiple days for the exact same beta test.

thank you for this

Reps to you! Thanks

Thanks

For those of you who have signed up, check your emails or login to the community as I received a email today about a sign up to test a notebook.

Yup, same email.

I got the e-mail. This would be fun to do.

HEADS UP - Just got this e-mail:

Dear Freebie King,

please be aware that we have posted a recruitment for 3 more notebook beta tests today. Please consider to log into the community website and to apply for these beta tests.

In our Dell Beta Tester community we have also posted the respective links to these opportunities.

If you have already applied for these beta tests, we woud like to thank you for your support - sorry for the inconvenience of contacting you again.

Thanks,
Jochen

Thanks for the heads up Freebie King! Going to apply now!! Good luck. :)

Applied to all three.Is there anyone who got to participate in the test so far?

I got the email and just applied as well.

I got the email, but it doesn't give the url to apply. How do I apply?

TIA

Mike

Just applied for all three! Hope I'm picked...I'm actually looking for a notebook right now, so it'd be neat to try one out (and though I'd prefer a netbook over a full-sized notebook, I'm not too picky).

Some info that might be helpful...I was curious as to what the incentives were for testing, so I emailed them a month ago and asked, and they said this:

Typically either Amazon or Dell vouchers – the eligibility and value depends of the participation of the respective beta testers.

I just got that email as well, signed up for all three. I'm also wondering if anyone has been selected yet?

I also applied for all three :nod:

I also applied for all three :nod:

Am I the only one who thinks their qualifying surveys are pretty vague? At least Centercode's ask some in depth questions- oh well, good luck to all, surely with 3 open studies some of us will get in! :woot:

yea, i was expecting a lot more questions so i don't know how exactly they are going to pick people..

:iagree:

The three surveys were very similar, with only a few differences I noticed in the question that asked about your two most important factors when shopping for a notebook.

Oh well - I hope we all get selected for one of the tests!

I got the email today and signed up for all 3.

I got the email, but no info or link to apply. How did you do it?

I was wondering the same thing about where to sign up for these? Dell? or Centercode? I know I am a member of this community. I did send them an email for a link, so if or when I do hear back with a link, I will post it.

I replied to the email and asked if it would be too much trouble to provide a link or do we have to wade through the entire Dell website to find them.

Why do technology people have to be so stupid? Stupid webs designers, stupid product designers, stupid software developers.

I'm not sure why you even bothered replying to their email since I would imagine your chances are pretty slim getting in with an attitude like that.

The testers they are looking for would be ones that will offer constructive feedback and certainly not the immature insults you are throwing at them.

Good luck getting in! :lol:

I logged in and clicked to apply for all 3, but didn't get any questions; it just went back to the screen with the 3 links. I'm guessing that means I missed the boat?

No I don't think you did because the application questions were very few and I suppose everyone got the same questions.

Oh I think I didn't see ur post properly.You meant that you didn't see any questions at all so may be they have closed the application.

Well got an email about a Netgear beta project from Dell and guess what. It finally shipped last Thursday 7/2 and got it today 7/6. The hardware came in this morning and its great. The only question is where do I send feedback on this beta project? Never was told where to go to email comments?????? Weird maybe I just gotta send a generic email to the beta team.

you log onto the site and there will be a section for feedback for that product. Also you are not supposed to discuss the product on public forums or outside your household.

Heads up! Got an email saying 3 new studies are up so login and check your homepages!!

www.dellbetatest.com

#1 and #2 are for thin and light notebooks and #3 is for Netbook / UMPC (think you need a WWAN for this one)

Good luck everyone!

Dear XXXXXXXX,

Welcome to the Dell Studio 1745 beta test. You have been selected from over 3000 applicants :woot: and we are looking forward to receiving your feedback on this product. We are experiencing some delays in schedule and hence cannot yet predict the final kick-off date for this beta test.

We will open up the forums and feedback types in the tool as soon as the systems are shipped out. Also, we will notify you once the systems are sent out.

Like I said, they were stupid not to include the link. How can they run a beta test when they can't give people the link to apply?

They should want people who will speak their mind and not "yes men" like you seem to think. I would want to know what people really think about the product and not just have them tell me it is great.

thanks

omg I hate yooou! lol i want to test a lappy so bad! I pry won't get chosen for any of them. It seemed like all their questions were insinuating that we would be testing a smaller laptop, so I chose all the smaller screen sizes when filling out the questionaires on all of the surveys. I hope I get to test the laptops from these recent questionaires:O

:D Congrats

Nothing for me :(

Jealous...although, I probably would not want to give it back.

I got the same email, that I am in for the 1745, maybe because I already own the 1735 which I love although the backlit keyboard has already had to be replaced. Wonder what the incentive will be, someone had said they send you the one you tested later to keep and then someone else said a gift card. Guess we will wait and see, can not wait to test!!

Congrats to all of you ,who are in. I been trying to get in these everytime I get invited to do the initial survey no such luck. Maybe they are still sending out letters and mine is lost lol only can wish hehe. But I am doing a pt with Netgear which is supposed to come next week.Now it would be cool to do both pt to get a real effect on the products .

Netgear beta test IS NOT afflicted with Dell's........

just wondering, what beta test are you doing for netgear? Netgear beta test are fun because they actually let you keep the router/modem/etc that you test.... my friend got like 2 routers from them (draft-N and N router-modem combo) from them for free.......

Hi crystal,

Firstly, thank you very much for applying previous beta project(s), since limited sample quantity for each project, we cannot invite you to join project you applied, but we would like to reserve the priority to you for the next project.

We are conducting a test for a Wireless-N Modem Router which could provide better connections and functionality than your Wireless-G Modem Router or the Gateway provided by your ISP, also better range and better speed compare with your WiFi Modem Router. is a built-in ADSL2+ modem combining in a single and compact form factor to reduce cable and desk clutter.


I emailed dell about the beta test worth a shot thank you. Does anyone know, what you get for testing it. I have herd the actual laptop when it gets released, amazon gc to buy a laptop, and a dell voucher for one.

thank you!

Dead?

In my opinion (and experience testing with Onlinebeta in the past), there is no way in hell that that happens, no way, period.

Probably an Amazon GC in a much smaller denomination.

i tested a logitech mouse + keyboard combo a while back for onlinebeta and they prepaid shipping for us to send the beta back and then sent us a brand new combo a month or so later,,,,retail was about $130.....

Got to agree with above poster. There is no way Dell will send you a new laptop once the laptop is released deal. Most likely an Amazon gift cert. And Logitech usually sends you the product mostly likely a current model. It's dependent on the company. Netgear usually lets you keep the item being tested etc.

I'd like to do this, but I need a beta tester account. Do any of you know when they'll be having Community sign-ups again?

I tested a laptop not too long ago for them, unfortunately you have to return them and they give you amazon or a 100.00 off cpn towards their computers.

where is a new sign up link. The original post is invalid.

Christine,
That's a pretty poor
Considering that we're doing beta / op testing and will probably have to endure a ton of steps to follow through
Or are you supposed to treat it like a loaner for a month
Not a lot of details on the Dell Tester page

Thanks

Christine,
That's a pretty poor

the test ran for 3 months and you had so much to do install this take out that lots of work for a small incentive

yea i just signed up for two more opportunities...one for a full desktop and the other for something else

:thanks: OP

Does anyone know what we're supposed to do?


Load the sucker up with as much adult content you can find and send it back at the end of the test...

I have not personally been involved with a Dell Test but load it with porn? :vomit:

Highly doubt that...... :shake: Furthermore, I don't even find this comical and chances are, Dell will not find it at all amusing.

Wouldn't that be a lot more work than what Dell is going to pay us for????

BTW: what is the reward for all of this work, anyway?
The amount of work I am willing to put into it is directly related to how much they are willing to reward me. :(
If they consider a 3 month free rental of a computer to be an apt reward, then they will get their computer back dusty and untouched :lmao:
Not even worth opening it up to load porn on it. Because that would actually mean that i need to do some work

BTW: I just got the first assignment for my laptop that's been lost to shipping. Update the bios. Oh joy
And still no idea what we're supposed to get out of this

I got the email too, I even replied last night with "test reply".

Sweet- I got in on a laptop test! Apparently I'll be getting my machine in October. I'm not expecting too much of reward but I think it'll be fun to get a new laptop to mess around with.

yep, you get to test a free laptop, have to send it back, they pay you with a gift card of about $100 depending how much you participated

That's a pretty good deal. It's nice to be rewarded with a GC to have a choice of incentive.

Thank you for being considerate. :nod:
