See that's another problem. Captivate's latest official firmware is 2.1, I could get 2.3 (probably) if I wanted to jump through some huge hoops (had to do it with boss lady's Droid Incredible). Depending on your provider/manufacturer you can be very much behind on your OS, this is not the best position to be in.
Yep, only one intuitive, easy and very obvious way. Just like basic car controls this particular functionality does not need any diversity***.
***Having physical keyboard do that with arrows would be pretty much the only other useful way of doing it.
BTW how do you copy past from an email on Captivate? Anyone have any idea tried so far:
Press and hold
Press at beginning of text and end of text and hold (two fingers)
Menu button
Going back to iPhone and doing it there - this one worked.
Copying text from an e-mail is actually my primary complaint in all of Android.
Menu > More > Select text
Then, my second complaint when dealing with non-2.3+ is the less-than-awesome text selection.
