Lol. Keep the peace in the household. Give her the Droid and take her Storm. Or, except whatever surprises that she may plan (over time) for you. Especially since she mentioned you and deception.My wife was the first smartphone owner in our house w/ the purchase of a Blackberry 7XXXX 4 years ago. Basically, because of her, I got into the smartphone game myself after seeing all the things her phone could do. Well, several blackberries later (including a Motorola Q) we both found ourselves w/ the Blackberry Storm which we were fairly satisfied with - actually she was much more satisfied with it than I was.
Well, along comes the Motorola Droid. After the clever marketing and the glowing user experiences I had to have one. My only problem is that I wasn't due for an early upgrade until March 2010.......but my wife was due just after the release of the Droid
. I knew she was happy w/ the Storm, so I talked her into letting me have her early upgrade. She wanted to know what phone I was getting, and I told her the Moto Droid. After a few weeks w/ the Droid she wanted to know how it differed from the Blackberry Storm - and this is where the problem comes in........I TOTALLY AND INTENTIONALLY PLAYED DOWN THE CAPABILITIES OF THE DROID. I told her that it was only "so-so" and that I wasn't sure I would keep it (knowing full well that I loved it and it was a keeper). I also sweetened everything by telling her to wait for the iPhone on Verizon around the summer of 2010.
If I didn't do that she would've seen all the things the DROID can do and assumed that I tricked her and would've demanded her early upgrade back for herself. Well, 2 mornings ago I awoke to her playing w/ my Droid (no pun intended) and now she is no longer satisfied w/ the Storm and wants her upgrade back - or to give her MY Droid and me wait for my upgrade in March. She said that I deceived her and she wants the phone or the upgrade NOW. I feel that she legitimately gave me the upgrade and that she should wait until March. Who's right?12-06-09 03:27 PM - This is an easy thing to decide.
One, are you a heavy or light sleeper?
What is your pain tolerance?
Does the wife know her way around a kitchen and knives?
And does the wife have any shoes with spiked heels?
The reason I ask these questions is, your head is softer than you think it is. And sleeping is your weakness, she can "correct" you at any time while you sleep.
Also the wife could always get to you, through your phone. Accidents happen.
I'm just saying... One morning you may very well wake up with half a Droid on the pillow next to you, with a note that read...."You lied to me... live with your lie now!"
I can picture your DROID with a knife pinning it to the bathroom door, also with a note ...."Next time it will be your CENSORED!"12-06-09 04:57 PM - Yah. I agree. When she calls in back up, you're in trouble. It's not worth the pain and suffering they(wife, sister-in-law, Mother-in-law, Aunts) are going to cause you. At that point, it's not about the Droid and all about trust. Save yourself and give it up, man.And always wrong
