It can’t be a good look to have a press photo of a new business handset with business bad news all over it!  With the launch of the E63 and its prescient web image, there can’t be much cheer for Nokia’s pals at Nokia Siemens, the infrastructure wing.

Credit crisis, recession, unemployment surges, trade shrinking, how right was Nokia’s image makers.
