We definitely need to do what Joe said as the default case.  various users
are then going to want various differences.  What would be really useful
is if you can make some mockup screenshots for how to configure this
stuff.

This would be a per phone configuration (ie a specific phone keyed off
its ESN).  In addition to what you mentioned, the other big one is
if names are stored as first last or last first.

BitPim should support all the different locations simultaneously.  (The
locations are called "origin" in the UI).  On the VX6000 there are actually 
4 different locations for images.  Part of the work I have been doing 
recently is to make a better UI for all of this.

I would like to see the ability for us to convert from however the phone
stores stuff into standard mpeg av formats, and potentially back again.
Unfortunately these proprietary codecs make life hard.
