As you can see on the name affix 'GPS,' the Trinity definitely supports GPS which makes it the first 3G enabled Windows Mobile navigation device. Other features of the HTC Trinity are Windows Mobile 5.0, quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G UMTS/HSDPA as well as W-LAN and Bluetooth and a 2.0 megapixel camera."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_vodaphone_trinity_200701.jpg" /><br /><br />You can find the original German report <a href="http://preview.vodafoneshop-news.de/index.php/preview_v2/handy?header=no&id=126&page=7">here</a>. There's no confirmation on when this will be offically released, but it's great to see this announced as a converged GPS/3G device. Thoughts?

I wish they made it prettier. All that cool technology is a pretty stoic case...

Cool, this means they have, as has also been promised (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/02/htc-trinitys-gps-receiver-lies-dormant/), finally ironed out the Qualcomm compatibility problems.

BTW, I've played a bit with this gem (without the enabled GPS) and found it VERY cool - much friendlier / more capable than the Wizard. I only wish it was a tad cheaper.
