You could:

1. Add a contact to your favorites
2. Put a shortcut to "Call Direct" that contact right on a home screen

If you want the dialer to have an option like "long press #2 to dial a person" then you might need to use a different dialer.

Ok. But somenone tells me that is possible to have speed dial with a long press on a dial number (3 for example), and configuring the name of the contact taht you want to call. But that does not work for me...

No. You just can add Favorite People on the homescreen. This option miss for me. HTC have the best Call Options.

I don't really mind having no speed dial, I haven't used it much on my previous phone anyway.
With, I don't know what you call it, when typing the numbers corresponding to letters, the contacts get displayed (I think HTC called it smart dial a long time ago), and the call history right there I find I'm not using speed dials at all.
I'm not a heavy call user though...

Speed dial is not available on Android 2.3.x. It will be on ICS

You should use another dialer. I recommend DW Dialer (& DW Contact)

On home screen, add a shortcut to your contact number. Then just press it to dial.

One alternative option until ICS arrives:

Try swipepad and add the options to directly call to these contacts.
Then you can, with a single movement, even without needing to open the Phone application, call them.

I just discover the application. Not sure regarding performance impacts but the usability it gives is great.
