Got an update this morning that copy/paste is now available on the iPhone!! :)

3 bits of software do the job...

Either:

Clippy
hClipboard
or CopiercIN

Sorry if this is a repost - shall try be trying these out when I get home :)
 
Clippy's been out for a few weeks now, don't know about the other two. It works well and is pretty seamless, but is still limited. For example you can only copy text in the 'typing' box (ie you can't, for example, copy a load of text from a website). Also, when I'm sending a text, the 'copy/paste' bar obscures the bottom line so I can't see what I'm typing, which is mildly annoying.

But it's a step forward at least.
 
Ive got hClipboard installed and it works well, it has the limitation Flammy mentions of only allowing you to copy things from areas you'd normally be able to type into (although there are workarounds) but doesn't obscure anything (hClipboard appears as international keyboard so can be toggled by a small button next to the spacebar).
