Quite simply my gf hated my BB from day one. She felt she was competition with it for my love. I'm a chronic multitasker and no matter what cycle of tasks I'm on my pearl is always one of them. She hated how every couple minutes my phone would go off from a text, BB messenger, or email. It got to the point where just the sight of it would earn me a dirty look lol. I explained to her what she already knew, there are very few times I'm not multitasking. And though all of those few things revolve around her I guess it just wasn't enough. She eventually accepted how big of a part my BB had in my life and I tried my best to keep usage to a minimum around her (impossible lol).
Tension between the two of them was stable for weeks. Then one day we found ourselves in the middle of nowhere, thanks to her directions. Being as bad with directions as she is she starts to panic! I on the other hand smoothly say, "blackberry to the rescue.". She goes, "huh?". Without responding I pull ol BB out, open Google Maps, and point; "this is where we are... This is where we need to be. " She paused for a second then smiled. The fear in her eyes slowely faded and she says, "oh ok". I sarcastically say, "and you hate my phone...". She just smiled.
About 20 minutes later (once again on the road) she says, "I'm coming to terms with your phone..". I just laughed. She made some off topic comment about how she has trouble remembering stuff. While opening my tasks and calendar, I tell her the only way my life stays in any kind of order is because of my BB. A couple days later she tells me she wants a Curve. in the end... BB wins.
Let's hear your stories and experiences with your BB and significant other.

awsome. I love story time.
I was the same way, same situation.
Now they both have blackberries, and still dont get it. Neither one of em.!
They cant stand the sex appeal04-14-08 09:29 PM - I talked about my new BB all the time before I even purchased it! When she finally saw it, her response was along the lines of, "So whats the big deal with this phone?" This was only the beginning as she constantly asks for me to put down the damn blackberry, which I asked to be referred to as a crackberry! I was also ridiculed when she asked why I felt the need to protect my BB with a bodyguardz skin..
After many pleas for me to put down my berry while out at dinner, driving, or simply around the house; as well as complaints of responding to e-mails as soon as I received them... I too had the opportunity to show off the skills of my 8830's GPS.. Routes were laid out with Google Maps app.. "Are we there yet?" was answered with a quick query for "my location" on said app; & finding our way around an unfamiliar town was also taken care of with the 8830.
Lets just say that her Q was soon replaced by a brand new Pink Pearl from VZW! Now.. no more texts.. just BB messenger chats! She soon learned that the nice icon by the messages would also let her know if I read her msgs yet; not to mention that JiveTalk is running on her BB constantly, and she can reply to her mom's email instantly! She even called me after she felt bad she dropped her berry on the slopes and roughed it up...
ah.. the BB love spreads.. next step.. Get her to join CB!!!
04-15-08 12:48 AM - My fiance bought me my berry after complaining forever i wanted one but not being able to afford the full retail price. He now regrets that fateful day as he hides my berry on me so i am not checking my email or texting friends...he hates my berry!! I'm trying to get him to buy the curve for himself since he is due for an upgrade...but he hates mine so much he'd never get his own!!
maybe i'll buy him one as his wedding gift!!!05-10-08 06:24 PM
This is not a bad idea. At least afterwards, I wouldn't mind cuddling and talking.
