Windows Phone 7 copy/paste update pushed to developers
Still, now that the update is in the hands of select Windows Phone 7 developers there's a good chance Microsoft will be pushing it to all users sometime in the very near future. For more information about the upcoming release, check out WP7 lead Brandon Watson's interview on PPC Geeks.

@Don S Do you know what a deadline is? as in, they had to be selective about what they included in the OS to make their deadline for a holiday release. It was a concious decision to axe C&P for the time being bcause they needed the core elements to be perfect. Now they are updating it in a few months later.

Wait, let me get this straight... An essential function to pretty much ANY application since Windows 95 (or even before that, but what do I know, I only started using 'puters with Windows 95), and they still haven't figured it out?
A cause of so many pissed off iPhone customers during the first and second generation iPhone, YEARS AGO, and Microsoft still overlooked the most obvious function in a phone like this?
That's just... mind blowing!
Needless to say, if I needed a phone to save a life and Windows 7 phone was the only option, I'd pass, for obvious reasons.

@SilverWave MS is a marketing company? Then why do they suck so badly at keynotes? :)
Also, the real reason lack of copy paste is such a bone of contention on WP7 is because the built-in office apps are among the very best that the platform has right now. There's not much exciting stuff in the Marketplace yet. And working on a Word doc or OneNote note on the go without copy and paste? That's a big minus.

@KeegdnaB
Do you know what incompetence is?
MS have more money than god and spent $500M on advertising...
So you can see their priorities... its a marketing company... the product being fit for purpose comes way down the list.

My Motorola Razr has cut and paste. Seriously.

Because they got fat and sloppy?
I think they are too involved in an internal power struggle ATM to concentrate effectively on products.
Anyone who could be considered as a threat to ballmer is being dwelt with.
All the rest is small potatoes.
