The XDA Trion is an OEM version of the HTC TyTN, the 3G, Windows Mobile 5.0 based PDA phone from HTC. Both these models are almost identical, save for the "QWERTZ" instead of "QWERTY" keyboard on the XDA Trion. Other than that, even their prices are the same—£450.
The phones have quad-band GSM, 64MB of storage, and a microSD slot for expandable memory. For connectivity, they support GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/Bluetooth/802.11b/g compliant. There's also a 2-megapixel phone and a secondary camera on the front for 3G video calls. Since it's GSM, you should be able to pick one up at the £450 price, and use it on one of the GSM providers here.
If you've already got a previous generation HTC device such as the T-Mobile MDA or the Verizon XV6700, there may not be a reason to upgrade. The software is the same on all these devices. You're just paying for the 3G support, higher quality camera, much faster processor, and video calling. If you don't need any of that, you can stick with the older model.

Can anyone confirm if the O2 XDA Trion will be available in the UK ?
Has anyone answered the Martin Davies question about availability in the U.K.?
Yes the Trion should be comming to the UK.
I spoke to O2 yesterday as I was waiting for the XDA Zinc. I was told this has been dropped and they are replacing it with the Trion instead.
The Trion is now available at O2 shop from 2 days ago.
