One of the neat features for Blackberry's is that when there's a phone number in a email, it is hyperlinked so that when you click on it, it will automatically starting dialing that number?
Is there a similar feature within wm6, tytn ii or any software available to give this ability?

Numbers in messages are normally underlined and when you quick tap them (not tap and hold )they are passed to the phone verification screen which asks if it is correct to dial (ie country and area code OK) and you just hit the green call button. This function is default on all WM devices.
Have you added some software that has changed this?

Thanks, I'm not aware of anything. I'm using a t-mobile mda vario iii.
Does this feature appear in calendar notes etc or just email?
thanks

just tested it, works fine in email but not in calendar? damn thats total pants! What ever could the developers be thinking.
/sigh , I'm really trying to like this device and get used to it (i have 7 days) but so far there are little things like this which I use daily which will make my use of it so annoying.

I'd love to be able to tap on a number in my calendar notes to dial..
All my appointments and contact details are stored in the calendar yet I have to write the number down, exit calendar and go to the dialer.
I don't recall ever being able to do it with any version of WM.
Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to configure wm6 or via an additional program where when it detects a phone number in a calendar appt., email, text, etc. it adds a link and you can dial directly from the app. I thought I saw this feature in some ROM I tried a few weeks back but can't remember which.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
Seconded. I thought I could at least copy/paste from an appointment into the dialer, but the pop-up keyboard is disabled in the dialer app. And I don't know how to "ctrl-c" with the Kaiser keyboard.
I woudl like to find an application that woudl allow me to click and dial any number like a Blackberry. That is, from an email, calendar invite, etc.
Same thing then for conference pass codes.
Anyone know of such an app for WIndows Mobile 6.1 devices?
Thanks
You can achieve this most of the time just by pressing call-hardkey if you are somewhere close to a number
I find this rarely works.
There is a setting for recognizing numbers
I want to say it is in the phone options, but I'm not sure. (and dont have my phone with me) but I do remember a checkbox to select for making phone numbers callable (is that a word?) from within sms, emails, etc.
I have looked. I have WinMo 6.1 and there are no options for this.
I wonder if it has to do with formatting?
I looked around and couldn't find the setting either, sorry. I might have been thinking of another device, and I should have checked before posting.
I also have 6.1, and at least in emails and SMS, the phone automatically recognizes telephone numbers and email addresses. tapping on a tel number gives the options of calling, sending a text, or saving to contacts. Tapping an email opens a new message to that address. Having members here from all over the globe made me wonder if country codes outside the US might mess up that functionality. I tried emailing myself some numbers, and when I included country codes, it didn't recoginze the number anymore. I don't know if this helps you or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Possibly someone here from outside of the US can tell us if it works for them.
Hi,
Coming form the WM platform I got used to a program called smsdrfix. When you receive a sms message that contains a phone number of a person you have in your contacts the number is replaced with the contact name by this program. This is very useful when your carrier sends "You missed a call" messages with phone numbers in them, its a real pain in the ass to find the contact by number.
Is there any similar app for android ?
Id be glad to pay a few euro if there was....

Hi, I have one more question that would help me decide on the HD7. I have about 1300 contacts in Outlook and multiple #'s for each contact. With some of the contacts, I have added a name behind one or more of the numbers in Outlook (say like on the Mobile # I have 222-222-2222 Tom). Well, currently in Android when I say call the mobile number of the main contact (and wanting to dial Tom), Android substitutes the numerical value for Tom (866) after the phone number, which in turns makes it an incorrect number. When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 Voice command dialing on my other WM phones, it would ignore the names behind the number and correctly dial it. Does anyone know if WM7 does the same thing? I hate to have to go back into Outlook and delete all those names behind the numbers, and if the HD7 handles it like WM6.5 did, it would help me decide to go with it. Thanks.
Seems to work for me -- I just added some letters to the end of an outlook contact, and called it, and it worked fine.
I should add that voice dialing has been flawless for me -- "Call david smith home two" calls the number under "Home 2" for David smith, and if there's only one David, you don't even need the smith!
Thanks
That's good news. Thanks for doing that.
And more, Windows Mobile never have that issue
