I was hoping for a constructive answer.  From somebody who has actually made bitcoin deposits on bitstamp, using a mobile device.

Smartphones are crap at copying and pasting Bitcoin addresses, never works!

I use a Nexus 7.
I went to deposit some bitcoin into my bitstamp account.  The bitcoin deposit page has an address and qr code.  To send btc to the bitstamp deposit address, I needed to copy the address to clipboard and paste it into a wallet where I was keeping the coin.  Well, I couldn't.  With the address highlighted, there is no drop down menu to choose "copy."  All I can do is highlight the address, which gets me nowhere.  I tried copying the clipboard's contents in the hope that the address had copied on its own, but no such luck -- the clipboard still held the text copied to it the last time it was used.
I ended up having to log in to bitstamp from a separate computer, bring up the deposit address qr code and scan it with the Nexus 7.  This is not a solution.
How do you deposit bitcoin on bitstamp without using two devices?  There really is no way to copy the address.  I can't even use a keyboard shortcut, because the keyboard doesn't come up.  No copy/paste menu, no keyboard no nothing?!?
