PhoneMakeCall makes app fail on PocketPC

Hi.

I have an application where I recently added the use of the PhoneMakeCall()
method, adding the "phone.lib" library. This works great on Windows Mobile 5
Smartphone devices, but when I try to start my app on a Windows Mobile 5
PocketPC device, it fails to start. If I remove the PhoneMakeCall() call, it
works.

From what I can see in the doc from MS, it should work on PocketPC devices
aswell, even though it probably won't do much use... :)

Pocket PC: Pocket PC 2002 and later
Smartphone: Smartphone 2002 and later
OS Versions: Windows CE 3.0 and later.
Header: phone.h
Library: phone.lib
Anyone have a hint?

Best regards,Ole-Johan Ellingsen

It only works on Pocket PC Phone Edition devices where the phone.dll library
is present.
