It will never be that easy because of the "quirks" of GC.

What IS possible are two things that will improve the phone experience. One is properly mapping the tel: uri so all the new iPhone sites ( like the iphone gmail contacts page / facebook's iphone page / and more ) will work with the mime system. Then we can map the phone mime types to EITHER the GC dialer or the default voip_ui application.

Once that is in place the gui dialer would just need to open the URI "tel:number" and the system will "do the right thing".

It's not as far fetched as it sounds, I already had about half of it working.
