Is there a way to add Mobile Number as a field to check for duplicate keys? I can select from "Email Address", "Last Name", "Full Name", and "Update At" by default but I would like to add "Mobile Number" to this list because mobile number is unique to a person.

Currently it is not an option, but maybe you can suggest this as an idea.
What you can do to follow up on duplicates is create a smart list of duplicate by Name / Email and sort by "phone", then merge the duplicates. (you can read some more information here: http://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000KytMCAS)

That's what I thought. 

BTW, it's the "mobile" field which I want to sort by. So, I'll just need to right click on a field in the header row -> "Edit Default" -> select "Mobile" from the "Hidden Columns" and "add >>" to the "Visible Columns" and do the sort on "Mobile".

This is OK when I don't have too much lead data but will require time with large number of leads.

I just thought "Mobile" would be a good field to take out the duplicates because people usually don't lend their mobile to other people and it's becoming common to people to have one.

Better way is to select "Lead Actions" -> "Marketing" -> "Change Data Value" -> select "Mobile Phone Number" as an attribute -> "Run now".
