I just used microB and used Google to search Sears Oklahoma City. There was an 800 number hyperlinked. I clicked it and the phone application opened and all that was required of me to complete the call was to click the green call button. I prefer this behavior to putting the call right through because I do click the wrong link from time to time! I am in the US if that makes any difference.
I am using CSSU 15, kernel power 46.

However, my N900 doesn't even get me that far, I get a message saying:
"not possible, address type not supported: wtai://wp/mc;<phonenumber> ".
Maybe this is a feature added only now in the CSSU? Cause I haven't installed that yet, still running on PR 1.3.
CSSU changelog doesn't mention this though, plus MicroB code hasn't been published.
I don't suppose this would be enabled in one national firmware release and disabled in another one (Austria, in my case), but who knows...?
In fact, does anyone know?
Thanks, Ben

No one else interested in this feature?

Hello,
Is it possible to enable dialling a linked phone number directly from MicroB (or any other browser in Maemo)?
I.e. the phone number is displayed on the page as a link, I click that link, the phone app starts itself, the number is dialled?
Thanks, Ben
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.sip", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.tel", false);
Restart the browser and it should allow you to click phone numbers where appropriate, dialing immediately.
I'm guessing that the phone number has to be enclosed within href='tel:<number>' or the S60 variant href='wtai://wp/mc;<number>' before it works though. I'd imagine most web designers don't do this at the moment, I know I never have, but I'll start today :-)
