tel:// links don't work?

In all my previous PPC and WM devices, I could enter tel:// plus a phone number in notes, or in a calendar entry, and it would make a clickable link that would dial the number. On my XV6900, the links appear to be created, but when I click on them, it just makes a click sound, but nothing opens and the number is not dialed. Do these work for others (something wrong with my phone, maybe a registry entry I messed up) or is this a bug in the product?

Any assistance would be appreciated. I use this regularly when I need to join a conference call, since I can pre-create the access number and pin for the conference bridge in a link, and not need to remember the pin or jump back and forth between the phone app and the appointment when trying to enter it.

Solved my own issue. The proper format is tel:npxnxxxxxx not tel://npanxxxxxx

Missing my sph i500 dearly right now.

HTC throwing the dreaded "...requires you to resyncronize all items..." message and won't stop. I've deselected the sync of email and searched, and searched, to find this is an old common unsolved problem with many WM devices, including the Touch.

Honestly I'm freagin' pissed about it because I just spent the last 2.5 hours fu$king around the internet while on my job so i can get my professional life in order with a half-ass functional PDA. No wonder big firms don't waste time with PPCs.

I'm a nice guy. I really am.
