Hmm, the Spec says wireless charging...
"Supports PMA and Qi wireless charging (wireless charger sold separately)"

Yes, a special adapter. Only Verizon sells this model phone; it is
unique to them. Bad part of that is the bloatware, but those can be
hacked out of the phone. No wireless charging on this model.

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

make it through a day. The turbo charging gives a full charge in
about 30 minutes too.

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.

happy with my ancient smartphone, so I haven't had a

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?
