It's possible to write win CF a full functional Phone application in
substitution of the default one.
I look to the Phone class but it had just one method.

Thanks Paps
 
Why would you want to do this? The answer to that might lead us to offer an
alternative. I doubt that you can replace the phone application reliably.
What is the target device and version?

Hi Paul

I have IMATE k-jam with WM5 and i'm working with CF2.
The reason is that I don't find the installed phone application very "Smart".
The numbers keybord is little small, is not easy to look for a contact
without using the keyboard or the pen, I would like to scroll with the call
history with up/down hardware-button.
That are the major changes, of course i need to evaluate if the job effot vs
the
improvement is little.

Thanks.
 
Yes, the keypad is a little small and it would be nice to have some more
keyboard navigation. I'd start by reading up on the unmanaged code SDK and
trying to figure out how to dial out, how to be the application triggered
when a call comes in, how to take control of the call and end buttons, etc.
That is, concentrate on the tricky things that you have to do first and
worry about actually making a nice UI later, if you can solve the problems.
You probably want TAPI as the first API to look at. I can't find any
samples in Platform Builder, though. Good MSDN article, if you can do it.
