listen save yourself pening the phone. It does have a GPS chip. Just like the PPC 6700 had one. Just like the HTC hermes had one. But it is not enabled. Also it is not WIRED which is important because it means that even if you enable it on a firmware level and OS level it will not pickup a signal because there is no internal antennae. And you wouldnt even be able to wire an external antenna to it because it doesnt have the physical connections for it.

GPS on this device is completely not gonna happen. To get your hopes up is just pure foolishness. The trinity didnt have gps enabled when it initially came out because it was unstable at the OS level. It was built with gps activated and the internal antenna connected. That is why a simple rom update got it functioning. Short of getting the GPS firmware upgraded, wiring an internal antennae and getting it working on an OS level this aint happening.
