Mac OS X hints has discovered a great little "tweak" that internationalizes your ".com" key. This means you can change the ".com" to international domains such as ".fr", ".de", ".co.uk", and ".co.nz". This tweak (so to speak) is actually quite easy to perform, easier than one might imagine.
Go to your iPhone’s settings menu, choose General > Keyboards and enable whichever international keyboards suit your needs.
After activiating those regional keyboard settings, open up Safari, and enter a URL. Next, tap the globe icon to switch the active keyboard from US (or whatever is default in your region) to another nationality of your choice. Lastly, hold down the .com button, and after a second, the regional version (France’s regional setting is shown in the picture) will appear to the left of the default .com button.

Yeah, this same principal works with the letters also. If you hold down a key it will give you the available accents for any of the languages. Same works for some symbols. Maybe that’s common knowledge.
