Ever felt that full-body flush of tingly panic that accompanies the realisation you've just sent a message to the wrong person?

Ever clicked "Reply-All" and lived to regret it?

Ever accidentally sent a saucy text to your mum?

In this week's Whaddyareckon? we ask for tales of messages, mishaps and mistaken identity.

If you have a story of woe on the topic, feel free to add it in the comments below. Pseudonyms are accepted, in case of incriminating evidence.

YES! Once I accidentally sent a txt to my boss instead of my friend saying how much I hated my boss. I had to run down to her office, snatch the phone out of her hand and delete my msg. I told her I accidentally sent her a naughty txt that was supposed to be to my boyfriend. Phew!

I was seeing a guy and he cancelled on me one day coz of certain things that couldnt be avoided.I got annoyed coz i was really looking forward to seeing him. I hadnt seen him for ages. So I sent a text message to my best friend telling her that he had cancelled on me. I called him a loser and said stuff about him. 5 mins later I get a text message and it was from him. It said "you really should check who ur sending ur msgs to b4 you send them." I totally freaked out and apoligised. But he ignored my phone calls all day. The next day it was eventually sorted. He apoligised and I apoligised and it was all good. Now I make sure that the receiver is the correct person b4 I hit the send button. LOL.

    • Motorola RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition

      Motorola RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

    • Nokia N85

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

    • LG KF390

      LG KF390

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

    • Nokia E66

      Nokia E66

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.

    • Samsung i560

      Samsung i560

      Seeing or using the i560 is hardly a pulse-racing experience. People looking for a solid phone with navigation will find what they are looking for in the i560. Fashionistas should look elsewhere.
