Firstly, the copy and paste functionality is great but there is one thing that annoys me. I was used to zooming in on a paragraph of text in Safari by double-tapping that paragraph on the screen (got very used to doing this) but now when I do it it highlights some text for Copy/Paste. Is the double-tap to zoom functionality gone?

Double tap to zoom still works for me. Make sure you are not holding the touch too long...
 
Thanks. Actually seems to happen more in emails that Safari - can you tell me if it still works for you in email?
 
I've never tried it before in Mail. Managed to find an email that displayed in a column with small text and yes, double tapping quickly zoomed.
 
Another annoyance is the lack of support to copy just a portion of an SMS message. The only option you have is to copy the whole message. I was hoping to just copy a userid / password from those stupid viewmymessage.com sms messages until we get MMS.

A simple work around is to forward your text which will make the text appear in the "typing" box. Now you can select the desired portion of your text to copy.:D
