iPhone Special Characters (Umlaute/Accents)
If you happen to be one of the millions of people blessed with not being born in America chances are pretty good English might not be your first language, and if that is the case chances are also pretty high that your alphabet contains some special characters… German umlaute, French accents or Spanish acentos, where the hell do you find them on the iPhone keyboard???
Since iPhone firmware 1.1.1 you can finally send decent sms, without all your friends thinking you are a complete twit because you have a funky iPhone but can’t even send messages with standard characters…
How to work the magic? Just tap and hold the letter on the keyboard you need and after a second or so a little bar will pop up offering you all sorts of accents and special characters:

It works the same even if you are blessed to be born in America. That way when we send messages to the less fortunate we can condensed to use the proper grammar and spelling if we wish.
Thanks a bunch!!! It took me almost an hour trying to search for a way to type ñ before I finally found your site. Didn’t think it would be that easy. Lol!!!
Thank you very much. I was looking for this information since longtime.
You obviously understand nothing of America. We do some terrible, shitty things, and they never end up on the news. Americans pay no attention to these things, but the international news media does, and the word gets around.
He’s hoping that one day you pull your head out of your ass. The author was 100% correct.
P.S.
I, unfortunately, was born American.
Thanks a lot, you made it so much simpler to email my French Sister. I no longer have to copy and paste the accented words from various websites while using my iPod touch. You really learn something new every day! Had it not been for you, I would have never known.
