I smartly showed my wife the Curve when she thought she wanted a Treo 680. Now we both have 8300s, and no fights yet. She does have to tell me to put it away every now and then, though.
No fight. Stays out of the bedroom at hom. Plus, I started leaving it in my den as living on the West Coast but having clients all over the US, I started getting tired of the 5am calls. I probably could take the time to look into a filter program so only family members can get through at that time.
Sometimes. My dad always bugs me why I'm always on the phone playing games. and I am not, sometimes inputting something in my calendar or something, non-gaming. gr....
She says I'm always on it but whenever we're out, I hear a "Can I see your BlackBerry?" to check her Facebook. If I can get her to love the Transformers movie, I'll switch her to a BB eventually.
The wife and I have never had a fight about the BB. I am a fairly new BB user though and my usage is really growing. I went from just a regular cell phone to WOW look at everything I can do! So give it time!!!
