[BBLISA] Re: New cell phone recommendation?

[Rudie, Tony]

I just learned something! My blackberry pearl turned the sample phone # below (in Josh's message) into a clickable link.  I didn't know it could do that.  It presents SMS for reading just like email, so it should work for SMS as well.

I'm pretty sure that all the modern Treos can do this. On my Treo 680, if
an e-mail message has something that looks like a phone number in it (even
just ten digits formatted like "555 555 5555", and presumably other common
formats as well), it turns it into a clickable link, which brings up a box
where I can click "dial" to dial the number. Likewise with SMS text messages.

If nothing else, she could select the number with the stylus, copy it to
the clipboard, switch to the phone app, and paste it in (and then hit the
"dial" button to dial it).

Is Verizon GSM, or some other thing? If GSM, a Treo 680 would work; if
not, the Treo 700p has a Verizon-specific model.
