My wife told the Videotron rep that she would get a divorce if she were to accept their offer to get an android to replace her z10 when her term expired. ;-)

Thank you! I don't know how many times I had this argument with people, especially the MP3 generation. So many would scoff at my MRX 700 receiver for instance, no bells and whistles, just a pure sound machine.

Both phones are great.
They both do everything very well
But the passport is nice as its got a great keyboard and amazing wide screen for reading
But both have pros
Just pick what you like
Hmmm well say you'll get an iphone just to show him/her your commitment and find something that your partner liked a lot other than iphone and tell your partner to switch to something else you want. That is really annoying lol

Something tells me this has absolutely nothing to do with the phone choice: in relationships, one can tend to have control issues and this seems like a proxy to control what you can buy.
Been married 11 years, and I can tell you these jostles start around the 2-3 year mark of a relationship. If you last past 7 years, you've each likely found your peace and space and have a higher chance at staying together.

As I'm sure Dear Abby would agree, keep the phone and switch partners!

My partner contently uses her Samsung and in no way identifies with it. Out of the two of us, I'm afraid I'm the one who puts the pressure on her to buy a BlackBerry. But not because I want her to change, just because I think everyone should use a BlackBerry so that they can realize how great and efficient they actually are. It really depends on your partners motives. But, just by the fact that you already own the Passport, it sounds like they might have some security or control issues that you will have to work through together. You shouldn't have to change for someone. They should just make you want to grow as a person. Not accessorize you and make sure that you use the same brands that they do.
Hold your ground. If you are a gambler, have some fun with it: suggest that whichever company goes cross-platform first, one or the other of you will switch. If you can get Facetime or iMessage on your Passport, your partner switches. If we get BBM Video chat cross-platform first, your partner gets a BlackBerry. ;)

LOL. Just been through the 2-3 year rough patch and survived.
Freud would've blamed it on the guys mother!

Does she like Pepsi or Coke?
Your happiness with your phone of choice should not be compromised. Your relationship should be about Love.
Compromising ones happiness can lead to resentment when it is not necessary to compromise. Your partner should accept your happiness and honour it in your relationship. It's your decision to make. Generally the happier we are in life, the better life is in all aspects of our lives. My advice is just be happy, and learn to accept each others differences. If you both do this, it should lead to greater happiness in your relationship, and in your lives in general.
Haha! I meant dr. Phil! :)

My wife has an iPhone.... opposites and all that, right? Tell your partner a real OS has a file manager. ;)
Can you not use FaceTime on BB10? I had it installed on my Z10 a few leaks ago but did not use it.
Facetime is only for iDevices, like BBM was only available for BlackBerry before it went cross-platform. Just like iMessage and iCloud (although you can sync mail, contacts, calendars from iCloud with other platforms).

I'm sure you chose your partner because that person makes you happy. Why not be able to continue using a smartphone that does the same?
There are no "conditions" in love....or there shouldn't be. My husband uses and Android, my son an iPhone. I have a Z30. We all co-exist. Isn't that what we are all after? The ability to breathe the same air but be ourselves?
Umm... I'm pretty sure you did not have FaceTime installed on your Z10.
It's for iOS devices only.

My husband has used BlackBerry up until recently because I use BlackBerry and can do the updates etc (I'm the tech geek)...
But he was getting tired of the small screen on the Q10, and really really like the Note 4 for the screen size - yes he tried my Z30, but he just really wanted that one so who am I to stop him? It's just a phone. And now he's very happy with it. Which makes me happy. (now I don't have to keep updating two phones, lol).

Really!?
Are you seriously letting your relationship issues dictate whether to buy a BlackBerry or Iphone!? You'll hate the iphone! The new capacitive keyboard on the Passport is amazing.

Tell your partner;
OS updates on BlackBerry don't render the phone slow and useless.
You don't need iTunes to control every single time you want to transfer files, music and pictures. We don't even need BlackBerry Link either. Simply plug and play!
You have a file manager built-in.
You can truly multi-task.
You have a physical keyboard that helps minimize the amount of spelling mistakes. Even the virtual keyboard on the Z10 and Z30 blows away other virtual keyboards.
Your Passport is made from stainless steel not cheap aluminum (cheapest metal there is unless highly worked on).
When you speak on the phone, your voice actually sounds VERY clear to others.
The lack of apps and games is mostly a bonus. You don't end up one of those who can't put the phone down for more than 15 minutes because there's always something to take your attention away.
Once you present these basic arguments, ask him why he still wants an iPhone?! Pull the old switcheroo on him!

That would be a really sad state of affairs if it was. Generally, my gf's have had very little interest in mobile devices the way I do. My GF has an iPad and a Windows Phone, but also randomly grabs and plays with my Z10 and Fire without issue. My old GF switched from a Pearl to an iPhone and viewed both as functional and didn't understand why people obsessed with phones.
People do get excessively passionate about devices, but sometimes it's really silly.
