11-13-2009 07:29 AMfrom the keyboard you hold down alt and select with the D-Pad. To copy and paste I believe you hold down alt/v or alt/c
EDIT: hmmm now after testing this that might only work in the Browser or a text field. How do you make the text "live" in an email so you can select it?Last edited by bamfsig45; 11-13-2009 at 07:32 AM.
Sometimes a "smartphone" is only as smart as its user.

11-16-2009 12:06 PMi know one thing.... this phone SUCKS at copy/paste.
I came from the iphone which had just gotten copy/paste and it was implemented very well. I used a touch pro and that was great at copy/paste.... the droid is absolutely atrocious (sp) at copy/paste. hopefully it will be updated -

11-16-2009 12:21 PMI agree, the copy/paste function isn't the Droid's strongest feature. Originally Posted by nate94gt
