From the Droid X forward, look at any of the phone's forum camera shots thread and you'll find great images and terrible images. Every phone out there is capable of getting good shots. The problem is there are a lot of bad photographers that love to blame the phone and post about it. Until you put an adjustable f stop/telescoping zoom lens with a sizable sensor on a cell phone, you will never have a camera that can rival a decent point and shoot. It's like complaining about a .22 rifle not performing well at 300 yards.
If you want better cell phone shots, try adding that Samsung camera lens to the back (of any cell phone). The reviews looked great.
