The Boss got a new toy for Christmas and it won't work with his old
Smartphone, so he's looking to upgrade. I'm happy with my ancient
smartphone, so I haven't had a reason to pay attention to the 'new'
things that are out there. In looking at what's out there now, It seems
like MicroSD cards are going away, as well as removable batteries. Do
they just figure that everything goes to and from the cloud now, and
doesn't need to be stored on the phone? We'll stick with Android phones.
The Samsung Edge6 and Note 5 look to be almost the same thing, but no SD
card. I thought I remembered seeing a TV ad for a Sony phone where they
were using it outside, then washed it off under a faucet, but I can't
remember which model it was.
Some things that would be nice to have:
Rugged, survive a drop from a couple feet while working outside.
Decent screen size, and daylight viewable.
Good battery, especially in cold.
Good Speaker phone
Minor weather resistance, splashes etc, not submersion.
I like how the CAT phones look http://www.catphones.com but with that
size of screen, I'm afraid if you need a keyboard, you'll lose too much
screen real estate.
Any Brands/models I need to go check out?
