BB 8730e Phone Number Recognition and Text Messaging

I went from BB to Treo. Big mistake. Now I'm coming back on 12/1 when my rebate kicks in. A major feature I missed was that my old BB recognized phone numbers as phone numbers no matter where they were: In my Outlook Calendar, Contact notes, etc. All I had to do was go to the number with the thumbwheel, click it and it dialed. Treo doesn't do that.
Does the 8703e do that on Sprint?
Also, on the old Verizon BB, I had to put in an @sprint.com, etc after phone numbers to text message. I had to know what system people were on in order to text them. What a pain! I understand that that's a Verizon thing and that Sprint doesn't require it. Is that right?
Thanks.
