This odd to me? Is this a selling point for me to dump this phone when the next comes out?

True. Resolution doesn't mean anything these days. For now we know that the quality of the galaxy nexus camera is not that much worse from the 4S. Real world usage will have to wait for someone to do a full detailed review first.

Basically, unless you're trying to print 4 foot posters with your phone camera, the megapixels don't matter.
Actually, the better the source material the bigger the print you can make. Pixels are one thing, but if you're blowing up noise you won't be happy with the results. I've known people with a Nikon D2H (a 4MP camera) who have successfully made 20x30" prints. This takes a very good sensor (camera phones are just now getting to "good") and an excellent photographer (and if you're looking to blow up a camera phone print to 20x30 you probably don't qualify). Don't expect this with a camera phone, but 150dpi is still very good quality and gets you into the 8x10 range. That said, no matter how many megapixels you've got, camera phone images rarely look great at more than 4x6" or on a ~2MP 1080p TV screen/monitor without retouching. In essence, if you can tell the difference between 150dpi and 300dpi you probably don't want the image at that size anyway.
I rarely if ever make prints though so 5MP works fine for me.
People downplay resolution too much here. Being able to zoom in and see detail is a big deal.

Does anyone?
