While there does seem to be quite a bit of potential in Windows Phone 7 Series, a number of downsides are also emerging. One that is sure to aggravate a few people has now been confirmed by Microsoft: It will not support cut-and-paste functionality.
What is odd about this is that cut-and-paste has been available on Windows Mobile since times immemorial. Microsoft is apparently suggesting that “most users, including Office users, don’t really need clipboard functionality.” Did it miss all the brouhaha over cut-and-paste not being available on the Apple iPhone?
Fortunately, it appears that cut-and-paste could be added to Windows Phone 7 Series in a future update later on. I’m guessing we will hear a bit of noise about this one…
