Anyone use a fuel belt (or any kind of water-carrying belt)?

I run with a waist belt similar to the Nathan Angled water belt called Ultimate Diections Access. I love it! I have tried about everything and have found that the belt is stable not too heavy, I have a key clip and a place to stash gels and cell if needed. I also have a cranky hip / back and have not had issues with it.

A couple days ago I found myself at a sporting goods store. They didn't have much in the way of waist packs, but they did have an Outdoor Typhoon on sale for $12, so I bought it. It is a very simple 2-liter backpack. This morning I took it on its maiden voyage, a hilly 6 mile run. It was comfortable and did its job quite well. Of course I have no frame of reference and I'm sure there are better hydration packs out there, but for the price (and the fact that I picked it up on a whim) I wasn't really expecting much, and I am quite pleased.

I do have one complaint though - no pockets. None. I was hoping for a place to stick a gel or cell phone or something but there is nothing, just the main compartment for the water bladder, which is impossible to access while running. Oh well, I'm sure I can find a way to work around this.
