Just curious if there is a gsm "saw filter" somewhere in the audio path (or
another filter by the amp)? Also, I haven't popped open my freerunner yet
but could another fix be that a small capacitor could be strategically
placed to filter out the noise (like the sd card issue (worked in my car
audio....))? Sorry for so many questions/possibilities... Is the Vcc path to
the gsm transmitter to close to an audio path or could it just be something
is tied down to an incorrect ground location? I'm sure the Openmoko team is
already on top of this though.

On a second note: I'm really happy with the freerunner and having a phone
that I can tweak to my liking. Also a good hint would be to considr an image
for the background when using ASU. It looks a thousand times better when the
app icons have something other then black behind them. IMHO :) (by the way
what does this really stand for? I only have an idea...)

Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
