I like the new Moto X and turbo models. About 1/2 the price of former
models and pretty decent performance.
I'm 3 years into a Moto Droid RAZR Maxx HD. I'd retire it, but the
battery life and all, it's hard to beat.

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?
