In general, no way. In some cases (when a new release is out and it's hard to download because Nokia's servers are swamped), such distribution does go on, actually helping Nokia, and they don't seem to mind.
Still, it's technically not permitted, ever; without such circumstances (which shouldn't happen again, anyway), it may well have negative repercussions.

The greatest part of that image is GPL, which is freely redistributable no matter what. The pieces that are non-GPL (wi-fi binary blob, maybe some dsp code or some such, the very annoyingly-closed bits of the UI) are presumably not redistributable.
