[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sekhargreen:
Even though there is not much difference than the bumped up processor between Xperia S and SL, I felt the lack of my brand new Xperia SL thread in XDA. So I just started this for my and other proud Xperia SL user's satisfaction.

General questions:

Unlockable Bootloader?

Apparently yes!

Is the clear band at the bottom going to be used for notifications?

Yes it is. But unlike Xperia U Sony used white LEDs this time to make it classy but not funky!

Hardware Mods are there to change colours though.

What's this about the battery?

Well for one it is indeed not removable

Removing the battery is pretty trivial as demonstrated in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lHsf...layer_embedded

On the good side though it is supposed to have a new 'fast charge' technology that charges the phone rapidly to 80% and then basically tricle charges it from that point, so if you need a quick boost you're in luck

Micro SIM?

I'm afraid so

Here's how to cut down a standard size sim to a micro sim though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb1Wv...eature=related

You can also pick up some pretty cheap devices (which look a bit like a hole-punch / stapler) from ebay that will cut it for you, if scissors scare you for some reason.

Micro SD card?

Nope

NFC?

Yes - and uses smart-tags so you can automatically setup a profile for home, work etc just by tapping your phone against a tag.

Does it have FM radio?

Yes! It has FM radio with RDS

Here are few tricks at a glance:

System info (phone, battery, used and WiFi information)

*#*#4636#*#* (INFO) - Works on all Android devices

Service menu - The classic one that we are used to see from ages on ericsson and sony ericsson phones. (service info, device tests, etc...)

*#*#7378423#*#* (SERVICE)

Demo - Used in stores for demonstration, a video demonstrates the product when we push the power button and acts as a normal phone when we touch it.

*#*#73556673#*#* (sellmore) - choose activate. To deactivate just enter the same code again.

To reboot your phone (because you can't remove the battery) press and hold at same time the power and volume up keys till it reboot.

SCREENSHOT: Holding down the power button now brings you a different menu compared to Android 2.3.7. Most users will probably notice that the ‘Take screenshot’ option has disappeared. Android ICS now allows you to take screenshots by holding down the power button and volume down button at the same time.

SAFE MODE: - even if I have no clue how to use it, any help?

1- Power off the phone

2- Turn it back on then right after hold the menu, and release when you feel the 2nd vibration

3- If you see SAFE MODE on down left of the screen, you did it

4- To leave SAFE MODE just reboot the phone.
