Sounds great.

As far as I know, there are no unresolved problems with the jack
insertion detection logic.

So it seems :-(

Ah yes, that would make even more sense.

That's too deep in analog land for me to know, sorry :)

It should be a Knowles SPM0208HE5:

As far as I remember, the story went something like this:
- JK4401 acts as an antenna receiving the GSM's RF we emit
- the protection diodes of U4401 rectify the RF, thus acting as an
AM demodulator
- the demodulated AM creeps via R4408 into MICBIAS, overlaying the
microphone signal
- signal gets amplified, etc.
I'm sure Joerg will set me straight if I missed any additional twist
in this tale :-)
