Hyperlink Phone Numbers

Just saw this in my Windows Tips & Tricks newsletter and thought I would share and see if this works in the current WM6 ROM... (Not using it yet so replys with results would be welcome...)

Q. How do I configure Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional to hyperlink phone numbers?

A. With Windows Mobile Standard editions, any string that looks like a phone number is hyperlinked so that the user can click the number to dial it. In Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, this capability isn't enabled. To hyperlink a number with Windows Mobile 6.0, add "tel:" to the front of the number, followed by a space ( e.g., tel: 214-555-2468 ). The number will now be hyperlinked when viewed with Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional.

that is pretty sweet...there should be an added functionality to it that would allow you to save that phone number to your contacts. I bet they added it but I really don't know and haven't tried it yet.

Open it in excel, save it as a CSV, import it into Outlook, sync phone with outlook
