You can always take out the battery.
Every capacitor is a battery. I guess you'll be removing all those integrated circuits.?
Dude, not unless they're a 1 Farad cap. CDMA can pull 200mw, TDMA 600mw, analog 1.2w -- and that's transmitted power based on received signal strength. You don't have caps large enough to do anything but a tiny little dying pulse, or serve as discharge filters on power-down. And there is certainly current leak in every phone, powering down even the largest capacitors contained within seconds, even if they don't have a dedicated depletion circuit.
