I was close to install it, then I read their ZLauncher Privacy Policy and I discovered they read your text messages and call logs, and I abandoned it. I guess, trust really affects our perception of a system, and our willingness to share personal information with it. Unfortunately, if there is no trust, the relationship/interaction man-machine will never achieve its full potential.
You have to download and install the APK manually. With the ease of publishing something to Google Play, why haven't they done so? Is it just to limit initial deployment to people who know how to do this? Also "Sorry, we are not currently supporting rooted devices". I wonder why.

"Fuck" and "you" are the only things that come to mind there.

So, where's the proof that this is from Nokia? I can't find a reference to this on a pre-existing Nokia property, the entire thing is on zlauncher.com except where they link to generic Nokia privacy policies and in one spot say to email press@nokia.com - so nothing that indicates they actually have access to Nokia.com. They've created a brand new twitter account that doesn't appear to have been acknowledged by any ex…
Also:
- They don't list Nokia X in the supported (tested) devices section[0].
- SSL certificate doesn't belong to Nokia
- Whois records are hidden trough proxy, doesn't sound like something a company like Nokia would do
- They belong to Microsoft now, I don't think Microsoft would allow them to launch this, if this the Mobile Devices section of Nokia.
- Domain was bought from GoDaddy. Nokia, like most of the big companies, uses MarkMonitor.

EDIT: This seems to be a project by John Kneeland. https://twitter.com/SirKneeland http://kneeland.me/about/
I found his e-mail in the Google+ login app.
EDIT2: They claim to be the real Nokia, the part outside of Microsoft. https://twitter.com/SirKneeland/status/479686206318342144
Hmm not sure about the permission for dialling out...
Sounds fishy.
