It depends heavily on how the OS integrates things. For instance, I get a text message with an address to a house in it. How do I map that? Currently, I try to remember it, open google maps as quickly as possible and then type it in (because apparently Google is too damn stupid to add the "paste" function even though my Mogul supports it). If I could copy/paste it would be simple. I see a phone number on a web page (as mentioned by someone else) I want to call them. Now I have to do the same thing and memorize it to make the call. If the OS had some way of just giving me an option to map the address when it recognizes an address, or calling the number when I highlight it, I don't need copy/paste. As long as it's not doing those things it's a real pain.

I've always disliked the iPhone and I use WinMo now. I was super excited for the WinPhone 7 to come out, but it's looking more and more like a pointless device that MS should stop wasting money with right now. No SD cards, no copy/paste, no multitasking, capacitive screen, no app installation, the list keeps getting bigger. It's a damn iPhone by Microsoft! If I wanted an iPhone I'd get an iPhone, I don't have one because I want something different. So now I'm looking into Android and I'm not terribly impressed with it because it's trying to be an iPhone too. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
