Hear, hear, Icebike! =)
An "elegant" way to cut-and-paste? Please... just let me click and drag my finger on the freakin' screen. Add click-hold to pull up a contextual menu and you're done. Sure, this is stealing from WinMo and is built for stylus use, but I've been doing this with my bare finger for 2 1/2 years on a WM Treo, and something similar on Palm OS Treo's for 3 years before that (I think I had to use the actual menu buttons? ...its been too long to remember). The stupid click-hold magnifying glass isn't elegant, but I can learn to live with it. Forget elegant... give me functional.
Add to this the 4-5 month late push notifications and all of "my" wishlist items for the iPhone would be satisfied. (Well, with the exception of a CDMA version for Sprint, haha, and actual file-system/directory-structure access... but I don't think either of those will EVER happen.)
