Was wondering if there are applications available that would allow you to transfer a current phone call to another number? For clarity - one could answer the call and then opt to transfer the caller to some other number. I am able to do this on my moto. L9.

I believe that is "called forwarding" and if you have that available from your carrier, then you don't need any special application. Just go to the settings in the phone menu and go to the tab Network services (or something like that).
Hope this helps...

What do you want to use the letters for?
The dialer is the dialer for phone calls, it requires numbers to make a call. The letters are a hold-over on all phones from when your number was something like Klondike3-4632.
first thanks for your answer.but we have some USSD and secret codes for the phone that contains letters. also if they are not functioning then why are they in the Daimler screen

What is USSD?
What secret codes for the phone require you type an actual letter in the dialer?
What phone lets you type an actual letter in the dialer? I've not noticed one, but I've never really looked into it.
They're there because all phones have them; some people and companies use letters to give out their phone number instead of all numbers: example, the local radio station tells you to call 800-777-KBIG; the KBIG aren't actual letters though, they're just an easy way to remember the phone number, and you would push 5244 on the actual phone by reading the letters on it. I even do this with my personal Google Voice number; I was lucky enough to be able to get one that actually spells my last name, so I just tell people to dial my last name and they easily remember the number.
You're the first person I've ever seen question this. Maybe we can both learn something here.
first the secret code is *#*#checkin#*#* to search for updates.
seconmd the USSD Unstructured Supplementary Service Data depending on the service provider
third the phone that can do this is xperia x10i with android 1.6
finally thanks

See distortedloop's post again. The "code" you're talking about should be typed using the appropriate numbers based on the letters shown on the keypad. They don't have to show up as letters.

Like @kaimyn says...REREAD my post.
*#*#checkin#*#* doesn't require you to input the letters! Those letters are, just as described above, a way to make it easier for you to remember the secret code. You just replace each letter with the number on dialer keypad that shows that letter.
In other words the ACTUAL secret code to checkin isn't *#*#checkin#*#* it is *#*#2432546#*#*. Try it and see.
As for USSD, never heard of it, so can't help you there.
I'm fairly certain that with the stock dialer you cannot do what you're asking. Maybe some third party replacement dialer from the Market can do what you're after.
Btw, *#*#checkin#*#* and *#*#info#*#* are NOT USSD codes. They're just secret codes on Android. USSD codes are those codes AT&T and T-Mobile uses that you can get your bill balance, text used, minutes used. Example USSD code is #MIN#, #BAL# for T-Mobile.
And typing USSD codes is the same way, type the number that corresponds to the letter.
#MIN# = #646#

I have tried to find this, but it doesn't seem as if there are any that work very well.
Looking for a caller info app (not one that adds full screen pix of my contacts). But has a connection to a database for all available landline caller's information, and, to the extent available, cell phone information (by "information" I mean city, state, name or business name).
I have found apps that will look up numbers, most have lousy info (only city and state), but in addition to better/more complete information, I would also like it to offer to complete a contact for a number not in my contacts and open up the "edit contact" screen (or something similar to this....I just want to be able to immediately add contact info and not have to go back through my call log, look up each number individually, and THEN add to contacts...that's horribly inefficient).
Amy help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again.. This is awesome. Well worth the $6.99...probably the most I have ever paid for an app... But it really does have an immense library of information on phone numbers, both land line and cell!

Basically, there's some company that calls me numerous times throughout the day. The area code seems to be Manchester, UK, but they reroute it from India. They own a load of numbers starting with (01613) 80*****, so I just want to block all calls from everything with that prefix.
I've searched the Play store, but can only seem to find apps that block specific numbers. Anyone know of others? I really don't mind paying as it's a huge pain.
Call Control - Call Blocker (free with some minor limitations, without ads aswell) in PlayStore should work
well with area codes.

Excellent, thank you! Installed Call Control and blocked the area code. Hopefully that's the end of their pestering
