I believe all the GPS hardware is there in the Trinity, but from what I've read there was a conflict between GPS and GSM chipsets, so they decided to disable the satnav functionality for launch, but a ROM upgrade is due early next year that will enable it.

If thats true then I’m sure the xda-dev community will find a way to enable it before the official ROM hits, but it will be interesting to see if the aforementioned conflicts are present and can be fixed.

Personally I wouldn't shell out my hard-earned until I know the answer to that!
