[Blink] where's the dialpad?

Hi all,
I love Blink so far :) You have done a great job at interface design. I have been using X-lite and Zoiper for a couple of years now and have been pretty disappointed because of the lack of a simple way to search for contacts in a spotlight-type way. The only problem that I have currently is that I can't seem to find a dialpad (if it exists). Also, I know that it is a SIP client, but it would be nice to have a preference to transpose letters to numbers if there were no @ in the address.
For example, if I type somealias at somesipserver.com, Blink reacts as I would expect and connect to that SIP address. However, if I am looking to call IBM for service and type in 1800ibmserv, I'd prefer that Blink sees that there is no @ symbol and defaults to changing the ibmserv to 4267379. <-- skype seems to do that correctly, but of course, skype is a proprietary thing, so I can't do sip with it :(
If that isn't possible, then I would at least expect to have an option to use a software dialpad so that I can see what letters match up to which numbers. For now, I have to look at another client or do a quick google search for "dialpad."
For the record, I don't usually call those type of numbers. But it is still something that I've done a couple of times over the last few days and so I thought it was something that I should share with the list.
Thanks,
Joe
