Auto dial extension from event details
When there's a conference call number with an extension, have it give you the option to auto-dial the extension so you don't have to memorize it after dialing the conference call number.
"Good" for Enterprise has this capability and it rocks. After pressing a phone number to dial, it somehow scans the rest of the event details for other numbers that might be the extension you want to dial. A list of those options then show up in the dialer and you can click the one you want and it automatically dials it for you. VERY slick feature!

Any way to have the entire number AND extension auto-dial at once?
Blackberry had a format where you separated the extension and the phone number with an "x" and it would auto dial when you clicked the entire sequence. Dell Venue Pro chose a format with "Tel:xxx-xxx-xxxx,,xxxxxxxxxx" and it would auto dial this entire sequence.
Good Reader WILL auto-dial the entire number AND extension at once but it needs to be in the body of an email and not a calendar event.
Would like the latter since I drive quite extensively and want to reduce number of taps/clicks to make a call. Suggestions or RTFMs? -

Had the same suggestion from program I had with a previous phone (Blackberry). I don't know the program behind how it worked but looked something like this:
Call in: 555-555-1212 Code: 11112222
You could click on the call in number and the screen wouldn't change. When you would make the connection to the call in number, click on the code and you would be connected to the call in progress.
