Cared about:

Camera quality
Audio playback (Can it do MP3 ringtones?)
Looks and size (more important than anything else!)

Didn't care about:

Screen resolution
Processor specs
Onboard memory (because the assumption was all those photos and videos were going on an SD card)

it's funny that we cared about picture quality when we were viewing them on 240i screens

Haha yeah.

Honestly though, while I'd certainly look through my photos when I was bored on the train (having no Internet on phones then of course) that was never the intent of how I expected those photos to be viewed.

I'd regularly transfer all the photos to my PC and that's what I considered the "real" way to look at them, and email them from there to other people.

I only really transferred photos off my phone if they were really important.
