Sending an SMS from mobile browser

Is it possible to launch SMS/Texting application from a link in a website on a mobile browser? I doubt it's possible globally, but maybe it's possilbe for certain subsets (Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Google Android, etc etc), which we can detect and display.

You can use wap wtai primite: <a href="sms:1234567?body=hello world">Send SMS</a>. It runs on great majority of browsers.

I don't think it comes out of the box but you might be able to install a webkit widget on a recent series60 phone (samsung innov8, nokia n85...) to link the browser with the messaging application.
