This is something I used very frequently on my 8830, and if it's not something that's possible I'm just going to be able to keep this phone.

Thanks guys for any input!
To edit text, first click somewhere near the location you want to edit. Then tap (don't click) and hold for about 2 seconds near the word you want to edit. Then, while keeping your finger on the screen, you'll see a new box cursor appear. Move that box cursor to the location where you want to edit and lift your finger. It will automatically select that character and you'll be able to edit (delete, add, etc.).

Give it a try-- works really nice.
