WinPhone7 doesn't have cut-and-paste. There has been lots of complaint about that, though JB points out that use of smart handlers may be enough for most purposes. The other (in)famous lack is tethering, which seems to cause "OMG" or "shrug" with no in-between. WinMobile6.x had both for at least 5 years fwiw and so does Android and iOS.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
