Does the HTC Trinity Have GPS?

To add some substance to the speculation that the HTC Trinity has onboard GPS, we've had a couple of reports that an unpublished brochure for the HTC Europe's P3600 mentions the device as supporting GPS. I hate to burst anybodies bubble here, but the language used in the brochure is ambiguous at best - it states: "...the HTC P3600 supports standalone GPS*" with the asterisk pointing to a comment that it will be "Available shortly". Call me picky, but that line signals to me that this is going to be a product bundle with an external GPS receiver and software or a hosted GPS service, rather than an activation of the GPS chip that HTC have reportedly hidden inside the device. It's a far cry from "standalone GPS" to "integrated GPS" :? The original Mobinaute article (Google translation here) that triggered all this ruckus only mentioned the Orange SPV M700 (a Trinity variant), which would be used with the Orange Navigation system, which in turn doesn't require an onboard GPS reciever - I wouldn't bet on GPS being a general characteristic of the entire Trinity line. So until I see a real live Trinity with a functioning GPS receiver, I'm going to continue to be sceptical about this.
