I agree, who cares! My iPhone works great. I've never had the need for copy/paste. Do other smart phones have this or are people asking for something unusual?

Of course other smartphones have it, and I use it all the time on my windows mobile device.

Anyone that has EVER received an MMS on your iphone knows the NEED for copy/paste. In case you don't have the iPhone, or have never received an MMS on it, here's how it works:

"Hey, Paul! I just got a multimedia message on my iPhone!"
"Really, what is it?"
"Not sure... just a sec...
Let's see... click the little right arrow to open a web page to viewmymessage.com. Shut down Safari, open back up my text message. Username is x371tuivw. x371tuivw, x371tuivw, x371tuivw, x371tuivw... I can remember it... x371tuivw, x371tuivw, x371tuivw, shut down SMS... x371tuivw, x371tuivw... open Safari... click username box... type x371u... u.... DAMN! Shut down Safari... open SMS... x371tuivw... I knew that... ivw... ivw... ivw... shut down SMS... open Safari... type in ivw.... got it... now password. Shut down Safari... open SMS... deal8cow... deal8cow... deal8cow... Who comes up with these silly things? deal8cow... shut down SMS... open Safari... deal8cow... deal8cow... click on password... type in deal8cow. Cool... Wait for it... waaaaait for it. You would think it would be faster, but MAN viewmymessage is a slow freakin' site! Wait for it... wait for it... HERE IT IS! WOW! It's my new niece! She is sooooo cute! Look at that little face! Aw man, check this out."
"Wow, she really IS a cute kid. Can you forward that to me?"
"Sure! What's your email address?"
"What do you mean, just send it to me... you have my number."
"Well, viewmymessage doesn't have contacts... no, wait... I can do this...
Let's see... minimize Safari... open contacts... Ok... Paul... Paul... Paul... HERE IT IS! Ok, 8285556787. So you're on Verizon, right? So that's 8285556787@vtext.com. Cool. Minimize contacts... open Safari... forward message... 828555... what was it? Oh yeah... 6787... shift... @... shift... vtext.com. GOT IT! Comin' at'cha, buddy!."

wait for it...

"Dude... that's a text message, not the pic. I wanted the pic."
"Oh yeah, it's vzwpix, not vtext for photos... sorry. Forgot.
Back... forward... 828555.... 6... 6... oh yeah... 6787... shift... @... shift... vzwpix.com. Ok... NOW you should have it!"
DING
"Aw, she is REALLY cute! Look at that face!"
"What, you already have it?"
"Yeah, right here. I'm going to send it to my mom and sister. They'll love her. Let's see. Forward. Add contact... mom... sis... send. They'll love it."
"Damn."
DING
"Oh, look! Sis and mom were together! Sis sent a photo of mom looking at the photo of your niece! She's crying. That is SO like mom... want me to forward it to you?"
"No. I don't have that kind of time."

@Bill Grove:

true. true.

but you can tweak your typing! yes, to get that @ in the email address just 1 second faster, instead of doing "shift.... @.... shift", you can just hold shift down, *drag* your finger over to '@' and let go. also works for punctuation like ! or ?, and in the address bar you can hold down the . to slap in a .com or .net, etc.

isn't that totally amazing? and doesn't it absolutely eviscerate the need for copy/paste? hellz yeah!

iphone non-smartness stokage++....

i should pick up an e71...
