  Note that you cannot transfer a domain within the first 60 days of purchase, and your domain was purchased 54 days ago on 2011-09-08 so you need to wait at least 6 more days before transferring to another registrar is an option for you.

  Note that you can keep your domain at WordPress.com and switch to a different web host at any time by updating the name servers to the ones required by your new web host: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  Keep in mind that if you switch the name servers now, you can also still transfer later. Just make sure you don’t update the contact information, because updating registrant contact information will re-start the 60-lock. If you just update the name servers, you can start using your new web hosting now and still also transfer after 6 days: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
