Every now and then I want to call someone using a land line, and I know their number is in my mobile phone list.
What I do now is look them up and then type the number in on the landline manually, what would be great is to get my mobile to make the beeps which dial the number on a land line.
Obv
the handset manafacturers wouldn't be too keen, but no reason why third parties couldn't write the software for newer phones.
close enough

Hmm. I was under the impression that that didn't work anymore. I could be wrong, though. |

if def. works, if you make the dtmf tones down a line, it dials. The Psion organiser used to do it, but nowhere near as handy as your mobile doing it, obv. |

Neat idea, make it universal. Let the palmtop and laptop beep too, or did someone already bake that software? |

I went through 5 Psion 3s under the same warranty. They all broke in the middle of the clamshell (the same electrical connection was faulty). It must have cost them a fortune. The repair center lady said they about 350 were returned as faulty following Christmas that year. |

Years later, I bought a more advanced model (the last series before they went bust). It lasted 5 battery charges, losing all my addresses each time and finally decided never to start up again. |

Nowadays, I sure there is a Nokia app that could beep a DTMF or maybe even change channels on my TV via IR. |
