Question Does Trinity have a GPS Socket?

Funny, I thought that socket was for the GSM aerial. Does anyone know whether that is in fact a combined GPS and GSM socket? I have a couple of aerials at home (PDA-n/HTC3300 and std mcx). I will see if either of those fits because I hadn't thought to try them. Of note is the fact that the HTC 3300 has two separate sockets, one for GSM one for GPS.
I came, I saw, I got very confused!

I think that the socket is a GSM connection. It is identical to the GSM socket on the Artemis (Dopod 800W) I have. The GPS aerial I have for the Artemis will not fit the Trinity socket.
Having said that, I have ordered one. Even if it doesn't help with the GPS, it may help with the GSM reception in some marginal areas I visit. I will report back when it arrives, which they claim will be about 10 days.

Cool It is a GSM connector on the back of the Trinity.

I bought the aerial. As I expected, it did nothing for the GPS strength, but it did slightly improve the Phone signal so it was probably worth it.
