Thanks Trevor. It does not always recognise numbers though. Most friends don't type phone numbers in a format that the iPhone picks-up. With Nokia phones it displays all numbers and you can choose which is a phone number.

Oh, and you can just tap on the number immediately to place a call, too, from an SMS, email or web page. As above, hope this helps.

You've probably discovered by now that a little blue button with an arrow pops up when an SMS message contains phone numbers, email addresses or URLs. Tap on that and you'll get all kinds of options, such as 'add to contact', 'create new contact' etc. Hope this helps.

No, there is no copy-and-paste functionality on the iPhone at all. Strange but true.

Though I haven't really missed it. I think when 3rd party apps start proliferating on the iPhone that it will become a missing feature.

Can you copy-and-paste?
I would have expected that to be available, and more useful generally.
