Dopo quasi sei mesi torniamo a parlare della ROM Onyx, splendida release per ELF. Le Novità rispetto alla versione precedente sono molteplici.

Oltre all’aggiornamento grafico e del Sistema Operativo, portato in linea con Windows Mobile 6.5.5, è stato grandemente migliorato il sistema di gestione RAM, in quanto Onyx5 partiva, con zero programmi attivi, al 39% di RAM utilizzata, rispetto al 31% / 32% di Onyx6.

Migliorato sensibilmente anche il consumo di batteria, diminuito di circa il 15% in una condizione di uso normale (leggero wifi, chiamate e messaggi)

Infine migliorate anche velocità e stabilità generale del sistema.
