Changing default search engine google.cn to google.com

Hi there;

I bought my iPhone in mainland China, and I use Turkish most of the time. As I set the region to Turkey, safari will use google.cn as the default search engine, and it'll switch to google.com.hk which you need to click once every time. Is there a method to change it to google.com without jailbreaking my phone?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

I can confirm for a Chinese iPhone 5 that iOS 6.1 upgrade from iTunes indeed solves this hard coded google.cn search provider problem of Safari. if it does not solve at first, close Safari, go to Settings -> international, change to UK or US(or any) then back to your country, Open Safari and search sth. in Search box, if not Go to safari settings and clear everything, and try the above steps again.. Worked for me...
