But what happens if you need to type a .net or .org domain? Fortunately, there's a shortcut for that. To access a selection of additional domain extensions, all you have to do is tap and hold down the .com softkey. This will bring up a menu that will allow you to select from .net, .edu, .org, and .us. If you're looking up a .xxx domain you'll have to type that one yourself, otherwise this shortcut should save a few extra taps.
