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. ;) -ron jeffries.

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? -- Ron K. Jeffries http://blog.eronj.com http://twitter.com/RonKJeffries
