Don't go by the numbers. This is true for dedicated cameras too...again, technology has jacked up all of the pixel counts nice and high - what really varies is the optics...the quality of the lenses used, and that's why it's important to compare the output, not the numbers...if the camera feature on your phone is really important to you.
Bingo. People don't realize that MegaPixels is the equivalent of film in old cameras. They're on the CCD, behind the lens, right where you used to find film.

Nobody would expect to get fantastic pictures out of a disposable/cheap camera if they simply put high-end film in it. Hopefully. And the same applies to digital cams now.
