OpenMoko team:
It's crazy to consider shipping the GTA02v5 without the rework
to solve the current leakage issue.
Yes, people are REALLY anxious to get this phone. But shipping
a few thousand of units that do not meet spec on standby time
is a Bad Idea.
pull up your socks and do the rework
if that delays launch by 30 days so be it.
besides the firmware will be better by then as well. ;)

Yes maybe it can be fixed. But is the fix documented yet?
Another way to look at it: if the fix can be done without a PCB
change, then why not get the factory to do the rework (swapping
transistors or whatever) before they are shipped? How much would it
cost to get that done in China?
