Default Storm vs Wifey

Please Login to Remove!

Okay here's the deal. I absolutely have to have this phone when it's release. In my mind it's a necessity not a want, however as history will prove itself men and women see things differently. "You already have a fully functional 8310, why do you need to spend $800+ on a new blackberry"...

I have to figure out a way to convince wifey that this is a must have...

Any suggestions...

Buy her a new car.

Then she won't care what you buy.

My husband just went out and spent $350 on a friggin GPS. I did not get a new car. I did get chocolate, though, and sometimes that can prevent death (his).

I'm the opposite. I have to convince my husband that I have to have this phone. Fortunately for me, I worked 43 hours of overtime last month that I still haven't been paid for by my employer. I won't fuss at them too much unless they get too close to the release date and still haven't paid me. Prevents me from spending it on something else.

You know...Christmas is coming up...just say you want an early Christmas gift being that your wifes gift to you is to let you buy the STORM for yourself and just make sure you get her a good present when Christmas comes around.

jsconyers - That is funny as hell... But yet so true.

Man I really wish I could use the "engagement/band" combo, but all husbands know regardless of how much you spend unfortunately this can never be used as a bargaining tool... but if it could: me 300 / her 6000.

I knew the day would come when I regret "pooling" our resources...

With the holidays coming up, I would buy it for yourself, wrap it up, and say it was from Santa.

Storm > wifey

Seriously though, my conversation was the same as yours except substitute 8130 for 8310 and we are right there.

i remember seeing something somewhere that placed the storm pricing beneath the bold's though?


I really can't see them selling this phone for that much. Maybe without a contract but not with one.
