Does it do wireless charging? What is 'Turbo charge'? A special
charger? or just regular USB Charging with a high output supply?

I have it. Loved the T1 too, but mine had a MIC issue. The T2 is not
especially attractive, but it�s really well put together. It is nearly
shatter-proof. My nephew works for Verizon. When his area manager
introduced the phone to the assembled store teams, he threw it down
the hallway and announced, �Introducing the Droid Turbo 2!�
Subsequently, he allowed my nephew to drive over it with no breaking
at all.
It also permits up 2 terabyte external storage (so it claims), but the
only common micro SD card I�ve found is 64g. Lots of other subtle cool
features, from chopping twice to turn on and off the LED as a
flashlight, to twisting twice to open the camera. I love the remote
sensing too, as it can silence calls, let me check the time, etc.
without touching the phone.
Another cool feature is that is �knows� when you are looking at it, so
the screen does not time out if you are simply reading a page. As long
as it sensing a face with so many inches, the screen stays active.

The Turbo2 looks intriguing.

with my ancient smartphone, so I haven't had a reason to pay

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
<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?
