No phone number formatting for Mexico

Just as a comment, iPhone does not "know" how to format phone numbers in Mexico. I think Apple should have integrated this feature with the internationalization of the iPhone.

I have to set the country as "US" to have the (###) ### #### format so most of my numbers display correctly. In Mexico, area codes of bigger cities are only two digits.

The biggest problem of taking the prior solution is that every time I enter a new contact in my iPhone, it obviously sets the country as US and the address format is incorrect, so I have to change it every time.

I think Apple should also take in consideration how Mac users like to format their numbers in the Contact application since there I have set all of the rules for displaying contacts.
