BANDWIDTH.

The most obvious reason to me for the continued lack of cut and paste or simple clipboard functions in iPhone 2.2 is that AT&T and Apple have agreed that this will not be included due to the bandwidth demands it would create.

If we can cut anything we please from the web or emails or wherever, and then paste it into emails and SMS messages, this will greatly increase the bandwidth needed by AT&T to keep up with users’ needs. Limiting us to sending only what we can type with that silly screen keyboard will cut the bandwidth demand by orders of magnitude.

Alright, a few dozen words…

Easy to agree, when you share an IP :)

iPhone is killing in satisfaction levels, so while it’s possible its lack of certain previous gen cell phone features hurts it with old school power users, the user experience is just killing for new users, or for users with different requirements.

I have a Nokia E65 which can tether with basic Bluetooth. The iPhone cannot do that & PdaNet is way too slow to compete. Everything beats the iPhone in comparison to WM phones. The iphone only wins on look & feel! Nothing else!!! The 3g is a battery killer as opposed to any symbian phone!! Bluetooth is so limited & pathetic! Steve jobs go back to the drawing board & jackup these basic features quick cos clients are starting to hand there iPhones back. They are totally pissed!!!</p> I agree with Superman, windows mobile is miles more advanced. I have a Nokia E65 which can tether with basic Bluetooth.

Damn, Apple is a pain. I am becoming pissed off with the iPhone. It can't do what a basic mobile should do. Cut/copy/Paste, forward SMS, Send business card, MMS. This is damn basic stuff. Shame on you Apple. Nice gadget, useless in reality.</p> damn, can’t they put a decent SMS application that works like iSMS or SMSD. Damn, Apple is a pain. I am becoming pissed off with the iPhone.

No doubt they will get millions from Google for this, and not give a crap about what users want.</p> I’m going to be bummed out if they remove the refresh button in favor of a Google Search bar.

Dont believe that for a second! If they wanted they could make a phone miles ahead of anything out there at the moment. But they won’t because they can sell a bunch more slightly advanced versions before then.

I bet the programmers are working on iPhones two or three generations away…

They are expanding like crazy and for the moment they probably can't spare their programers for anything short of essential bug fixes. It's the same dillema every company faces - balancing happy customers with happy investors</p> I know it’s disappointing but the most likely reason cut/paste hasn’t made it in yet us just because apple is too busy with other things.
