Sounds like your marriage has some bigger issues if the like or dislike of a cell phone plays such a big role in your happiness.

I guess for Valentine's Day, evilhomer is getting his wife a bowling ball with EHJS engraved on it.

It works to include them, my wife too referred to my Blackberry as my "girlfriend". Last year I just one day went to the Verizon store and got us both 8130's, her a pink one and me a silver one, and from then on I get no complaints. We actually spend every waking moment apart sending each other Blackberry Messenger messages. It adds a additional bit of fun.

I know that situation, had some girl and she was always complaining about my BlackBerry, then I got the new Storm (which I sold 4 weeks later to change to the 8900( and the felt in love and also bought the Storm with a data plan from Vodafone. We're in contact everyday, even after our kinda short relationship ended and now we're good friends.

Love my BlackBerry.

This statement "Now she has the 8900 and she is always coming home with a new accessory, theme, ringtone, and telling me that i need something new for my bold."

Where is she getting the themes for the 8900?

Come on..a little research would have shown that themes for the 8900 are not available....

Good story. My wife gets on me, but she wants an iPhone not a BB.

well for me my girlfriend didn't like the idea of blackberry as she is a wmo type of a girl.. then one day i just let her use my bold for the entier week and she slowly warmed up to the idea of owning a blackberry. Till one day she's won't return my bold so i had to get a new one for myself that is.. hehe...

I've been using a black berry for a few years and my now wife is always complaining and asking what I'm doing on it. She has had the really old 7100 which was a piece of crap, plus she didn't even have a berry plan so she never enjoyed the full benefits until a couple of weeks ago when she got the curve, but more importantly, a berry plan! now I'm the one telling her to put it down!

Cute, story. It made me chuckle, glad your wife has seen the light.

That is awesome! My husband recently converted to a Storm and now we are both happy BB users!

Congratulations. We are taking over the world one blackberry at a time!!!

I just bought my first BB and I love it.. its really easy to get addicted... no complaints from the hubby yet...

Hahaha! I can understand where your wife is coming from. I hated sitting at dinner being ignored. I hated anyone else who also had a berry because I thought that it was rude & obnoxious!!! One day my husband decided to upgrade to his precious Bold & gave his old 8920 to me. Then he signed me up on a data plan...that was it! I was sold. I now understand the need to be on messenger and how fun it is. I love my new 8900 & love the fact that I can chat almost anywhere in the world to my husband. People who want an i-phone should just forget it, they're idiots! Before Blackberry I was a lost soul with no friends...

 
 
Posted by gingerginger Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1198 days ago

oops I meant 8320...now it's an 8900. Um..kinda weird how you get new friends from being a BB msger user.

I'd say this story is one juste like mine it brought us up to learn to past more quality time together because of the blackberry... mine is a cureve 8330 right now and just ordered a storm 9530 and i will probably buy my girlfriend a curve 8330 so she will also be able to learn even more of the world that can be explored and leave us to spend more time together... more time to explain to her how every thing works shes been trying to understand and read alot but right now she has a 8130 and its not the best example to startr with and to apreceate thanks to blackberry that made our relationship even stronger then ever.

I had the same issue. I got my Curve in November, and my wife never said anything, but I could tell she couldn't understand why I was always on my BB. Got her a Pearl in December. Now she understands!!

I did much the same thing with my spouse! Didn't need to hide her phone though!When I was getting my Bold at the store she loved what you could do with these phones and got a pink curve. A few days later she changed to a Bold! Talk about upgrade!
