I'd go with A. If something does not exist, then nobody will expect it to, and apps are more likely to built with that limitation in mind. The reverse is Windows Mobile. Copy and paste does not work most of time (you can't even select webpage text in IE!), but everyone knows it's there so nobody cares to do something about it.

It's something that existed and people expected in the iPhone from day one. (And since most of those phons had physical keypads, the UI mechanism for doing it was fairly intuitive)
- simonw 16y agoI had a Nokia for several years. Two of my ongoing questions about it were: "Why can't I copy and paste?" and "What the heck is that keyboard button with a picture of a pencil on it for?" I figured it out about a week before I switched to an iPhone.
- masklinn 16y ago> And since most of those phons had physical keypads, the UI mechanism for doing it was fairly intuitive Are you joking? I never even realized my old E70 could copy/paste (then again, I never quite looked for it either, but it definitely wasn't obvious), and on more recent efforts for the Pre the copy/paste implementation is an utter disgrace. And yes, it does use the physical keyboard.
