I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my iPhone for the last five days and without a doubt can say it’s one the best phones I’ve ever had. I haven’t been this excited with a phone since the first Motorola StarTAC back in the mid-nineties. Apple has done a fine job with this phone.
Now it’s not to say there are some short-comings with this wonderful device. With nearly ever e-mail and SMS message I get, I find myself saying, “Why didn’t Apple put in a copy-and-paste function?” Ugh. Or a cut-and-paste or even just a select-entire-word option. When the intelligent keyboard does fail to auto-correct your typo, going back six or more letters at a time is a pain. Selecting the entire word and deleting it to start over is much easier. The problem is only more intensified when you have a sentence or more to yank out. Copying information from a note, for example, to an SMS or an e-mail would makes things much easier.
Apple needs to resolve this issue immediately. It’s very interesting that it was even omitted as a feature in the phone and hopefully with enough outcry from users, it’ll find its way into an iPhone update real soon.

yes, no cut&paste will keep me from buying the phone, period. I hope it’s fixed by the time the European version comes out.
