1) Can you save videos to the SD Card?

Yes, but the video length only goes as long as an picture message - 95K.

2) Does the SD Card allow you to take longer Video?

No, that's something that's only possible on the later Sharp phones, like the 902, 903, etc.

3) Is there a way to make it play MP3's

No. You can re-encode MP3's into SMAF's of a short length to get "Real Tones" though. See other threads for info.

4) How Good is the Screen(s)?

Internal: Absolutely freaking amazing. The external screen is color but not that good when the backlight is off.

5) How Good is the Camera?

Very good, but not as good as more recent Sharp phones. It can do megapixel but IMO it's best run in VGA mode. Very good outside, indoors not so good as takes a long exposure that results in blurred images. Better than almost every other cameraphone though. You will be able to print 4 x 6's off it .

6) Are the LED's behind the Keys Blue or Green?

Green LED's behind the keys except for a red LED behind the END key. Sounds obvious, but in Japan they stick the same color behind every key.

7) How is it recption Wise?
Very good. Trustworthy IMO.

8) Any other special lockouts I should know about?

Forget games on it. It runs Java but not the latest and greatest version and as such I don't think there are any games for it.
