Copy and paste is not included with Mobile 5 on the Blackjack. It's rumored
it will be available with the Mobile 6 upgrade, if and when that happens.

Note that you're referring to the Pocket PC, and not a Smartphone.
Smartphones do NOT have (and will not officially have in WM6) any support
for copy / paste operations. You'll need third-party programs for this; for
example, Vito CopyPaste. They, however, are only able to copy contents of
text input fields / areas.

I also recommend following my articles; for example, in my Smartphone IM
Bible, I've also thoroughly elaborated on the built-in copy/paste
capabilities of the available IM apps.

Thanks for the info about the "Smartphones" that I didn't know earlier.
After more reading I see there is also a "Pocket PC Phone."

BTW your blog looks great from what I've just seen of it and I'll get back
to it.

Yup, Pocket PC phones are different from "(MS) Smartphones" - the latter
refers to the touchscreen-less MS Smartphone platform.

No stylus on my Dash. No touch screen.
