if you go to google and do a search for a business, you will see a page that shows the contact number in the search results. when you tap on the Call button in the browser, you get an error that the URI cannot be handled.

if you do the same thing from an Android browser (such as Opera), it correctly handles this and you can make a phone call.

in Opera, this is what you see -> Opera screenshot tapping on the CALL button works correctly.

in Sailfish browser, this is what you see -> Sailfish browser screenshot tapping on the phone number throws you to this error page.

This is a minor annoyance - should be a low priority request.
