Help Copy and paste in Facebook

[stevew1966]

I think I'm about to buy a Sony Xperia Sola,
which a guy in a Phones4U shop tried to flog
me yesterday - but I can get a much better deal
with a SIM only contract from O2 and an
"unbranded" phone (which I think means
sent from abroad - the phone has "Sony" and
"Xperia" on it but the day of the week in
German in a photo) from Amazon. But what
I'm not sure about is how good it is for
Facebook. I particularly need copy and paste
to work properly, preferably not removing
blank lines and corrupting hypertext links as
happens with my Nokia C3. Any advice please?

This isn't the Sola

I was told at the Phones4U shop that S is the same as Sola. At amazon.co.uk, the one I'm interested in buying is titled "Sony XperiaTM sola (black) sim-free, unbranded" (which you can search for to find).

Even if it is a slightly different phone, won't most Androids be similar as to how copy/cut/paste and m.facebook.com work?

I have one of the first Xperias, which says it's 1ui inside, but is completely diferent from one I've seen on the web with a keyboard. Wikipedia says it wasn't even an Android and many things don't work on it, including suitable copy/paste.

I could be wrong but I didn't think it was the same but yes, android is the same for the most part, will change when upgrading from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich.

Thanks. Is there an easy way to find out which Android phones run Gingerbread and will be updateable to Ice Cream Sandwich? The alternative is to buy an iphone, but I'm not inclined to splash out on one if I can buy a reasonably cheap yet reliable Android?

Your best bet is find a phone you like, Google it to see if it's updatable.
