currently not.

one can get the schems under nda as far i know (like all the
'external-internal' engineers and contractors of openmoko)
this has 3rd party rights, as well as company-political reasons, which i
as a techie cannot reasonably explain ;)
e.g. the gsm part will propably be a 3rd party rights thing and thus
stay a blackbox even when OM decides to publish the schems some day.

currently it looks like the sd_clk could be the source of some rf-noise.
the guys in EE and sw are working hard on a fix.

be assured that there will be some statement when we finally know how to
kill this bug for good ourselves.
