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.
