Sorry, I don't see how what's preferable for users matters in this case at all.

Nokia is under legal obligation to distribute source w/ it's products
which contain GPL software or not distribute the software at all.

Besides, there really is no excuse not to have them ready at the same
time. Nokia clearly has the source, since they used it to build the
binaries. And at this point they have built so many IT firmware images
that they simply _have_ to know which of that software requires source
distribution. It can't be any harder to publish the source than it is
to publish the binaries.
