I have a Symbol MC7094 device, which comes with what I believe in Windows
Mobile 5.0 Phone. Now what I want to do is to have a full-screen kiosk-type
app running on the machine. I can get full screen and disable or remap most
of the keypad, but the green and red keys still bring up the phone. The
phone is not needed on this device. Is there any way that I can: -

- Remove the phone app entirely
- Failing that, leave the app on, but disable the access via the green phone
key. Note that the standard remapping only seems to work if there is no
phone on the device, otherwise you acn't change what it goes to.

I would be interested in any other possibe suggestions as well.

It's been my experience that the phone hardware and phone specific
buttons are pretty segregated from the WMobile side of the OS, so, I
think you will have to get input from Symbol on how to achieve what you
need (good luck ;-)

You might dump the registry and scan it for phone related entries.

Another, slim, possibility would be to replace the "phone" executable in
the \windows directory with an app having the same name that would
simply pop up, say, "Phone Inoperative" and close... note... these apps
are in rom, but can be "covered" by substitute apps copied using the
PC's file explorer problem.

_IF_ the button functions by lauching the app (which I seriously doubt)
might work.
