Yes, my partner has an iPhone mine is white and his is black. I am not always comfortable with this it is too much like wearing matching shirts or something. LOL
But it is all good.

When my fiancé's BlackBerry died, I gave her my 1st gen and got the 3G...
I would rather have my 1st gen, I like the way the 1st gen fells and looks, but the 3g feels better in my hand, so whatev...

A week after after I got mine, my wife said "my phone's not woking very well", then the next week later she says "I droped my phone and now it keeps playing up".
Do you think she is hinting at something?

Same thing that my wife did. I got my 3G for father's day. She go hers a month later because I got one! LOL!
Yes, my girlfriend has one. I had the first gen originally and when the
3g came out her sprint contract was ending so as a birthday gift I bought
her a 3g along with mine. She's a girl in college and couldn't really afford one
on her own, Im in college too and now have 2 phones to pay monthly for, didnt
think this threw as well as i thought!! Needless she loves it and uses it ALL
day, and yes shes "computer illiterate" as you might say.

Same here. My wife and I got them release weekend. I use pretty much every feature on a daily basis that the phone has to offer, including MobileMe. My wife on the other hand has never used the iPod, I don't think she has ever surfed the web. Other that the occasional game (which I downloaded for her), the phone and a few text messages, that's pretty much the extent that she uses the phone. And also, despite all my efforts, she still had no idea how to sync it to the Mac.
We both had the first gen and then traded them in for new ones in july. She has the white and I have the black. It is much easier to keep track on them now that there are two colors. I only bought the 8gig though. She likes to remind me that she has more "gigs" than I do. She doesn't quite understand what it means though.
I bought two iPhones when in LA around eastertime, jailbreaked them in my hotel room, and I had a ready working phone for her at my return. She was very happy
Mine doesn't. She's totally the opposite of me, and has had her PAYG Cybershot for over 3 years.
I must not show this pic to my wife. She will go EXTRA EXTRA nagging mode to get one!
Well I'm the Apple-junkie of the house, and I've slowly brought around my boyfriend to be one too. I was able to convert my boyfriend to a Mac back when we were dating long-distance, as I convinced him iChat was the best way for us to communicate (and it was!).
When the iPhone came out, I was obsessed with getting one -- but couldn't afford it for many months. I got really depressed about it (sad, I know -- but it just didn't feel "right" not having one, while so many of my buddies -- even ones who didn't own macs -- were getting them). My boyfriend was determined to get me one, as he knew how much it meant to me -- but we were living together by then, and both struggling with money. I was finally able to get one from an Apple Gift Card I got, and all was good with the world.
But after a while, I could tell my boyfriend was getting insanely jealous of my iPhone. I promised him we'd work on getting him one too eventually, but I think he mostly hated how much time I spent on it. Every time he tried it out himself, though, he had something to complain about it. It was always way too slow, or the keyboard drove him nuts. I was wondering if an iPhone would really be a good fit for him or not.
Then the iPhone 3G was announced, with its affordable price, and I knew the 3G speeds would make my boyfriend turn around (and the keyboard just needed getting used to). When I talked about the idea of him getting one, he seemed excited about it -- but he thought that *I* should get the 3G phone, since I was the major Apple-junkie of the house, and then he would just get my 1st gen phone. But I knew he would never be able to deal with EDGE speeds (which I didn't mind). And also...I secretly wanted to keep my chrome-backed phone anyway, since I preferred the look. When his birthday came around, just shortly after the 3G's launch, I surprised him with a new 3G -- and he repeatedly says it's the best gift he's ever gotten.
Now he's even more addicted to the phone than even I was, and now it's ME who's jealous! He pulls that damn thing out every chance he gets, and it looks like I've created an iPhone monster!!
But it's ok -- I wouldn't have it any other way. It just "feels right" with us both using Macs and iPhones. And now I don't feel so guilty when I'm playing with my phone, since he's usually playing with his first.

Well, sort of. I purchased the 3G phone on day two and gave my wife my first gen phone.
Her current Sprint contract is up in November but in the meantime she is using the first gen phone for the calendar, contacts and an iPod. She actually can't wait to activate the iPhone in November.
On a side note, I officially hate Sprint. We have been with them for 10 years and they wouldn't let us go with 2 months remaining on the current contract. Wouldn't even budge and I asked them nicely. I would have consindered coming back to them at some point in time but not now.
SPRINT - NEVER AGAIN!!!!
