Few Questions

purchased the 4 in hong kong over xmas. i still switch back & forth from my 9700, but overall i'm a satisfied customer. however, i have a few questions regarding text manipulation:

• is there a way for me to select certain words to copy & paste from a message someone has sent me?
  i often receive messages in chinese and need to translate some words, but it's annoying to have to copy the whole message when i only need this word or that word translated.
• is there a way to jump to the beginning or end of a message i'm composing?
  similar to the home or end button on a normal computer keyboard
• lastly, is there forward delete or only backspace?

thanks much.

1. No.
1. No.
3. No.

lol you get used to it.

lol ok thanks.

any of those functions become possible with a jailbreak?

1. Possibly but you'll have to do quite a bit of googling.
2. I believe so with clippy. On a web page though you can do a 2-finger scroll to go up and down text fields.
3. Nope.
