The best phone for business. Ever.

  That's apple's bold claim for the iPhone 3g! How can they make this statement when the phone does not even include such basic functions as copy & paste, search and dial from calendar entries.

I'm sure you will agree its a very bold and sweeping statement, one which is typical of Apple it seems. During my week with the iPhone hooked up to my Exchnage 2007 server, I could not see a way to invite an attendee to a calendar event, nor could I see a way to set a default reminder time of 15 mins on events? The iPhone does not support any form of notes synchronisation with Exchange nor does it even include a tasks application.

Yes you can get your email and partial calendar events pushed and sync'd with Exchange server but I think thats just about where any  business use of the iPhone ends.
