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.
