You can't use the swipe motion (which I think is pretty odd how the UI isn't consistent across Nokia apps).
But there's the good old ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste.

Sure, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, but I have been unable to mark text to copy in many situations when I wanted to.

Yeah.. some apps are tricky. I didn't even realize I could highlight in conversations till a few weeks ago (slide left from the bezel onto the screen).

I know the ctrl-c and v but I think they should make it so you can mark every text where ever you want. That shoud not be hard.
You can highlight the conversation but can you mark a speciall text in the conversation like the name phone etc. I dont think it work

In conversation swipe from left off screen to right - an arrow will show up. Click on the arrow and it should show a red line through it. now you can select any text.

Afaik you cant copy just any text at a desktop OS so some of your points are invalid. However, if you like to brainstorm how marking© should work within apps and if there should be an api be invented for it feel free to start a brainstorm! Let me know about what you gonna do by using "Report This" button and I will either move or change the status of this thread.

One trick which sometimes work, is to use CTRL A to mark everything, then CTRL C to copy it to clipboard, and then go to any text editor and CTRL V paste the text there for editin that out what you do not want.
I've made a proposal that shortcutd would have user configurable menus, where one could also put "emit-key-foreground ^A" (and ^C, ^V); so one wouldn't have to open physical qwerty-keyboard in these cases where application does not have clipboard tools in its program menu.

I think copy & paste text in N900 is really poor. I thought that N900 is more like computer. I want to copy any text in any applications, like calender notes sms yea you name it. Is it something I allready can do or is it really missing?
