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 existing accounts. It seems weird to me. I don't really believe that its not Nokia, but it is enough uncertainty that I'm not going to install it.

That is weird. 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.

  in case someone is looking for it, here is the new Nokia website: http://company.nokia.com/en http://company.nokia.com/en yes, they share the nokia.com top domain, however they are now separate, since the sale to Microsoft completed in 25 April this year.

  Hi, John Kneeland here. I am a Nokia employee (Googling me enough should prove that) and PM on the Z Launcher team. We are indeed the real Nokia, the part outside of Microsoft. :)

    I was going to remove that "claim" part but it was too late. I don't use Android but this looks like a really good project. It's also good to know that Nokia we knew and loved is still creating consumer software.
