there is one more option to copy and paste your desired text...suppose you have to copy this "Motorolafans" so tap in the end of the word means in "s" from there drag your stylus to first letter means "M" it will select the text "Motorolafans" now again tap for 2 seconds in any letter of "Motorolafans" you will get a popup says cut, copy, paste, delete, select all..paste option will come after you copy something....after select copy now you can paste it anywhere.

One small tip here:
You do not need to click on edit to copy the number. In the E6, the first number of any contact is already highlighted, you just have to keep the stylus held for 3-4 seconds on it to get the context menu with the copy option. If there is more than one entry, simply use the D-pad to go down to the next one which then gets highlighted, and repeat the process above.

Another caution:

When you tap on the selected text it may happen that the menu pops up pretty quickly and some thing else from the options gets selected e.g. ''cut'' instead of ''copy'' , so better still hold the stylus patiently and I would suggest a bit tilted to make sure you get the desired option selected.
