Can you do this on any messages in Conversations or just SMS ones?

It works for mee if I use my nail. If I try to do that same with my fingertip I cant get it working. Also - It works quite easily with stylys.

Hey guys just ran into a surprise today after installed another screen protector on my N900 (I ripped my second Clearprotector off) and I bumped on the function that I never thought it ever exist.

Mouse Pointer for highlight text in the Conversation SMS.

Does anyone else know this before? If you slide your finger and apply some pressure from the left (like on the browser) you'll get a mouse pointer, where you can highlight text and copy them.

I hope this is a new found though

Edit: Arggg and my new screen protector is already got scratched!!!

Thanks for that. I know that function from the browser but didn't know it was possible in SMS too.

Yeah I didn't know either until today. Lol 2months of using the device and it is only just got discovered by accident when I'm cleaning the screen and applied pressure from left to right, because of the bubble on the left lol. And I was like Holy Cow!!
