(For the Mogul at least, from the Today screen, start typing a name and it will come up in the phone app, where pressing that hard "Call" button, select button, or double clicking calls the contact. Holding the select button or click-and-hold via touchscreen on the name you want and it gives you all the options (call home/work/cell/different emails/text message) hope that helps, but you should check out the Mogul forums for anymore info)
