It still boggles my mind that the standard Gingerbread dialer doesn't do dialing by name... That seems like the most basic phone feature - my cel phone has done that for the last 15 years...

I've tried Go Contacts, Dialer One, and RocketDial. I settled on Dialer One, but its still not that great...

What are you guys using?

On the stock dialer just hit the 'phone' button then the 'search' button and you should be good to go. You can even just start out with the 'search' button and start typing a name

try touchpal dialer, its free, and seems to do the trick

I'm using go contacts, it's free and looks like the sense dialer

Just reporting usage: 41% with ten hours medium-heavy usage with stock kernel, that's better than other kernels I've flashed!

I use aTAKEphONE dialer.
It does cost unfortunately, but I like that when I search, it's not only the name of the contact, but it can search the company, notes, etc. You can dial by photo, you can change what each click does(dial, pull up contact info, etc). You can schedule to dial a call. You can toggle your skin with different colors or just use your background, which I normally prefer. No issues thus far and I've been using it for about 2 months.
