If you enter NUMBERS with your keyboard right from the desktop it will
open the phone ui with dialpad.
Or ask someone to make a desktop shortcut for this dbus-call:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.CallUI /com/nokia/CallUI com.nokia.CallUI.ShowDialpad string:""
which will open the phone ui with the dialpad.

Fastest way is to start typing the number. From the desktop type "0" (blue arrow and P) and the phone interface opens with 0 entered.
You can just type the rest of the number using the on screen keypad or the physical keyboard (no need for the blue arrow key anymore).
Found that one by accident one day...

You can put a file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/
with this contents (name it dialpad.desktop, for example):
You will need root previlegies to put this file there.

and you can put a string to have icon too.... 
thx nicolai for that cmd again
thx nicolai for that cmd again
What I miss from my N97 is the ability to go straight to the keypad and enter the number directly, I use my phone for business and as a consequence I have dozens of telephone-numbers in my ROM-brain...typing them in is way faster than looking up the appropriate contacts.
Or is there already a way that I have not found? The telephone shortcut brings me into the telephone app and last calls log, but that's not where I want to go with the sole click of an icon, I want the keypad.
