If you select "Menu" in most things, there is a "Select Text" option that you can click. It allows you to select text onscreen.

Here's what I did on my phone :

I've install KbdControl on my TP2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240) and I remap the "email" key on the keyboard to a Ctrl key. Telus TP2 has a email button which is totally useless IMO. I remap that button but you can remap any button you'd like !

Now, I just have to press "email" + C or "email" + V ... and there you go ! Got Copy and paste everywhere !!

It is working very very good :mrgreen:

Ok i guess everyone else missed this... but you CAN select text in text messages WITHOUT having to go to menu and turning select text on...

Here's how:
It's not like before where you instantly start selecting. Now, you press and hold where you want to start highlighting... Wait until you start seeing the lil animation (before the select all context menu pops up), then start dragging over text. after that, simply hold the selection for the copy menu. Simple! Hope this helps.

By the way, this works in emails too

I personally like this more because it makes scrolling through the threaded texts much easier.
