The GTA02 has a problem with signals to the SD card causing interference to the GPS receiver, effectively reducing its sensitivity by 20dB and making it slow or impossible to get an initial fix.
There has been much discussion of this on the mailing lists. On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 12:38 PM, Alasal <info@alasal.be> posted a summary of everything related to the GPS problem to the openmoko-community list.
Summary:
You will be able to use the SD card at the same time the GPS is on except for the first 30 seconds or so. (And that's the worst case, because maybe Openmoko can find better hacks/fixes)
