Yes, you have that cool functionallity on your Symbian S60 devices.
For older Symbian S60 devices, there is a "Pen" or "abc" button which usually placed near the [SEND] or [END] button.
For the newer Symbian S60 devices, this button not appear anymore, but replaced by "#" button.
* Mark / unmark items
When you at the listbox interface, e.g. at the list of SMS inbox on messaging application, let's say you want to delete some old SMS. Of course it is take some time to delete it one by one, and also BORING hehehe.
Try the "Pen" / "abc" / "#" button to help you, press and hold that button on the listbox, then press up / down arrow to move through the list. The item you pass will automatically marked. If you don't want to mark that item, press the "Ok" button (the center of four-way navigation button), this will toogle the mark. Then just do what you want with selected item, e.g. delete it. So simple huh :).
* Highlight text
When you on text editor interface, e.g. when you writing an SMS someone, you can highlight the text you've already type with the same button as before.
Move the cursor to the position you want to start highlighting the text, press and hold "Pen" / "abc" / "#" button, and move again your cursor, the text you pass will highlighted. Then just do you want with that highlighted text, e.g. copy, cut, or delet it.
* Copy, cut, paste
When you already have a highlighted text, try press and hold the "Pen" / "abc" / "#" button again. The left softkey (options button) will change its label to "Copy". Try press the "Copy" button, this will cause the right softkey change its label to "Paste".
Now, how about cut functionallity? Actually, there is no special function for this, but you can combine the "Copy" function, "C" or "Clear" key, and "Paste" function hehehe :).
Try it by yourself
NOTE: Not all listbox interface have mark / unmark functionallity, the "Messaging", "Contacts", and "File manager" application have this type of listbox.
