for the Droid or 2.0

Please help here I am used to the iphone just hold down and you get a choice of highlighting all or some and you can drag to highlight then cut copy or past. All i can find in the droid is copy all cut all. Am I doing something wrong. By the way I love this phone this is just one area I have not mastered or maybe it has not been perfected as of yet.
 
How do you copy and paste a web page link on the Motorola Droid?
For example, I find a web site I like, and want to paste it into an email.
The hold shift and select text doesn't work in the URL field at the top of the browser.
Thanks in advance for any solution!

Long press on the address bar in the browser and you'll have two options: share page / copy page url.

Best way to do this is to share the page because that will automaticly pasted it into and e-mail or other programs that are available.

Thanks for the tips on URL pasting...I guess when in doubt on the Droid, always "long press"! ;)

One more thing...is there any way to select text on a web page without dragging your finger? It's not very easy if you don't have small fingers or nails...isn't there some way with the directional pad on the keyboard?
