Description
Hi There!
I think that the phone and city fields should extendable, something like models.TelephoneField("DE", format), DE is the international abbreviation for the Country Germany, format being a a format string, for example "(%i %i %i)%i"
Thanks! Kepp up the great work!

Even within a given country, there isn't really a uniform way of expression things like phone numbers, so each option would have to be a number of choices. This rapidly gets unwieldy to maintain. If somebody wants a particular version, it's only validator away, so is fairly easy to write on a case-by-case basis.
Short version: at the moment, we won't be implementing this. If somebody or a group of people were really enthusiastic and implemented a fairly broad coverage of these sorts of things for many locales, we would be happy to point people towards it (or even maybe host it eventually).
