Back in Symbian i remember there was an option in the context menu for numbers called "Use Number", when you selected that, instead of calling or adding a contact the number was "pasted" in the dialing field of the phone prog, allowing you to edit it as you pleased, and even select a part of it and copy (as in put it on the clipboard) ... I still can't understand why they thought it was a good idea to do away with the pencil key, a single key for selecting, copy/pasting and calling the context menu (in Windows you use shift for selecting, control-C for copying, control-V for pasting, and the right mouse button or that more recent dedicated key to call the context menu)
