Cameron, my bottom of the range Nokia phone does copy paste. It does it pretty well too. I'd say it's naive to think you can simplify user interface without cutting features. Sometimes features aren't as necessary as we think they are. Other times people make mistakes and ommit ridiculously basic features such as MMS. Other times people release an unfinished product and then "get the rest in the first patch". Obviously that's a little cynical, but really, a "3G" phone without MMS? That's just lame.
