I went though the same thing.  I don't think you can change the menus.  
I simply set up Asterisk to Blind Xfer with the "#" key.  So instead of 
using the softkeys, you hit "#" and then the extension and off the call 
goes.  It works out nice because if you go to a different phone, the 
procedure stays the same.
