When I accidently take a picture of myself, "Oh crap!" I said, and fumbling as fast as I could pressed delete, but accidently hit the short-cut key for Send MMS message. "Double-crap!" I said, and tried to exit the complicated menu system I had entered so easily. Next thing I knew, I had send the picture to the most recent person in my address book. I watched in horror as the little icon animated to indicate 'message being sent'. What's worse, is I didn't recognize the number it sent to, as their number was in my phone, but not their name. After a mad scramble through my contacts lists and sent items to see who owned the number, I discovered I had just met this person recently and had exchanged quick text messages with him. It gets worse. Turns out, the guy I sent the message to is gay (and I'm straight). So you can imagine my relief when I read this story... I can now blame the whole incident on my iPhone (instead of my Nokia).</p> So I’m in the toilet, doing my biz, and passing the time by playing with my mobile phone.
