AT&T is circulating a survey among some of its longer-term iPhone users with a checklist of features they’d like to see. It’s a follow-up to a similar survey a few months back, and apparently also serves to judge reactions to the 2.1 firmware. Some of the most regular complaints make the list, including picture messaging through MMS, landscape mode for email, a user-replaceable battery, and the all-mighty cut and paste. The survey probably doesn’t imply any kind of imminent changes, but it’s nice to hear that AT&T is trying to listen to what we’ve all been screaming for so long. [AppleInsider]

Realistically we must now acknowledge the iphone 3G will never have cut and paste. It’s not part of the plan for firmware update 2.2 and even that isn’t going to be rolled out for months. If they did choose to add cut and paste (assuming they can figure out how to do it) it would be part of a subsequent firmware update and you and I can only guess at how far away that is. No, if they add cut and paste at all it will most likely be part of the next iphone iteration – 4g? – who knows. Meanwhile all us idiots who bought the 3G have to get information with our iphone, write it down somewhere on a piece of paper, open another application and type it all back in again. Talk about cutting edge. If you are planning to use your phone for business, stick with Blackberry.
