apple bluetooth keyboard w/iPhone 4 -- SEND text message?

How do I hit the "send" button when I'm using the wireless keyboard with my iPhone? I can use all of the text functions. I tried "command-return", etc... thinking that that was a shortcut. Didn't work. Does anyone know how, besides the obvious "press the send button on the iphone"? Sure, I can do that, but I want to do it with the external bluetooth keyboard!

3.0 GHz 8-core Intel Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), two 17" Apple Monitors w/DVI-ADC boxes, PCIe USB hub, Digidesign 002R /Command|8

Agreed, this is absolutely ridiculous. I have an iPad setup on my desk that I leave open for e-mail and messaging throughout the day. I have a bluetooth keyboard attached to it and it's MORONIC that I can type messages all day long but have to reach up to the screen and physically hit "send" in the lower-right hand corner to send off a message (and then continue to go back to the keyboard to type more text). Come on Apple, fix this with a simple keystroke, eh?

You guys are lucky for receiving some sort of "Reply" from support, I remembered this thread while buying my keyboard, so I decided to start off with the question "Does this keyboard work on iPhones?", and the guys/girls assisting on the store firmly believed, "sir, its not compatible with iphones". So when I got out of the store, I immediately tested it, but still, can't find the send shortcut. And I really need this feature, if you're too busy doing something and you're phone is docked and charging, you won't have the time to pull it from the dock nor reply to messages with the dock connected to it and place it back where it's sitting.
