Shockwave?

A Shockwave is something that is supposed to blow you back because of it's sheer power and awesomeness, like in ST:Generations when the Veridian star explodes and rips the enterprise to shreds.

This phone? Most like... a gust of air. Android 2.3? Really? Wow... soon it won't even be supported!
