I'd take the waterproof. As I'm never more than a few minutes from an outlet. I've just been buying the same old phone when something goes wrong. Usually the speakers. And yes, I do love my turbo.

For some odd reason I cared about having a removable battery, but the strange part was I never kept a device long enough for the battery to go bad....lol. I get a new one every year with AT&ts next program. So a removable battery got less and less important.

Now I would rather have the water resistance, more of a chance me dropping it in a puddle or the toilet than having the battery go bad..lol.

basically that is what happened with me. I wanted the removable battery but then I realized I did not need it after all after a bunch of years.

On topic how many here carry or keep easy access to a charge pack or even battery case?

I keep a charge pack, power pack or whatever it is called in my car for power emergencies.

There's something to be said about that. Everyone is generally like "1-2 days on a charge is perfectly good for me".....EXCEPT in that event of a tornado/flood that knocks power out for days. I suppose, if you're near your car, you could always charge it there (but you might not want to waste the gas, and otherwise you're risking draining your car battery).
