I have not seen this on any of my phones and it definitely does NOT happen
on my F209i (the only one I have to hand to test with). YMMV of course...
Can you post a url of something that does this on your phone so that we
can test it?

Er - well - yes..... Though I hear tell there be some powerful magic in
that google enjun.... I don't think anyone believes that google is
intending splashing linked telephone numbers at random through the
text.... (Not as daft an idea as it sounds though - didn't Deja Vu have a
biz model at one time that involved hotlinking product references in
usenet posts to the product home page? Well of course it IS a daft idea,
but that doesn't mean that some bright spark of an MBA is not at this very
moment patenting it....)

This last is very much in need of confirmation. It is definitely not a
behaviour common to all phones. I am curious to know which phones - and
which browsers DO this....
