Goodbye Xcover, welcome Xcover

I sold my old phone the Samsung Galaxy Xcover and I bought the second version the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 :)
It's a rugged phone also, designed for active people. It is a big upgrade, the screen is much nicer and the hardware is better so it moves way faster than my old phone. The software improvement is huge also, the jump from the old 2.3.6(Gingerbread) android to 4.1(Jelly Bean) is like switching from Vista to Windows 7.

I like the new phone, it has a lot of nice new features and it's fast. The only thing I don't like is the camera button on the side, it doesn't feel as solid as the rest of the buttons and it makes a strange sound, all this because it has two positions (the first is for the focus) like on a usual photo camera.

Hopefully I will start writing an app soon for my home automation project.
