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

Anyone found a fix yet?

I've tried... fn+enter or space, con+enter or space, alt+enter or space, com+enter or space

and all the combination you can think of, consist of fn, con, alt, com, shift, and enter or space.


this is ridiculous. You bought a $600 phone and $50 BT keyboard, and you cannot "send" message. God D it.

here is a link to the VoiceOver option. it does work, but I felt like I was sniffing glue while trying to learn it.

i printed out all of the commands and some that i found on other pages and wrote the first 5 pages or so of Moby Dick. The went back and capitalized every 3rd word. Still fell like I'm sniffing glue, but at least it's Elmer's now.


Hope that helps,

i still do not get it, why there is no send option implemented in ios for bluetooth keyboard. it just does not make sense to switch between the iphone and the keyboard. i mean being able to fire up certain apps with keyboard is another thing. but a send shortcut for a bt keyboard, is elemental. can anyone at @ apple give me a hint why this is not possible? if not, please include it in the next release.

thank you very much.
