I don't know if anyone has explained this but I promise you there is no 2 GHz digital in mobile phones. Saying a mobile phone operates at 2 GHz is like saying my laptop runs at 5 GHz as its got an 802.11a wireless card in it (which uses the 5Ghz specturum).
There is a 2 GHz ANALOG BASEBAND signal from the antenna but this is demodulated IN ANALOG and then by the time the analog signal is converted to digital its sampled in the order of a few MHz.
There is certainly no processor in a mobile phone which is fed by anything like a 2 GHz clock, this is just absurd. Reporters like this should be taken out and shot for not runing their story by someone with knowledge in the area before publishing.
