For URLs you're best providing a custom method for entry yes.

For the web you can have a www button and a combo  
with .com, .co.uk, .org and others which the user can predefine. You  
minimise typing that way and T9 does work for the domain name, you  
can hold a button to produce a list of symbols (Windows Mobile does  
this, it works quite well).
