Its just handy having a camera built in to the phone for those unexpected moments you need to capture.

Yup.
The few times I've used the camera on my N95 have mainly been "drunken nights out", such as my Stag, my friend's Stag, & a work Christmas Party, plus the odd random occasion when I haven't had a camera handy. Random pics that are just viewed on a computer.
Although it's 5MP & has a Zeiss lens, I don't ever use the N95 for "proper photos" as I don't think it can really compare to a proper compact camera (not that it tries to or is meant to, of course). For starters the JPEG compression is IMO way too high (Oh Nokia, why is there no setting!) & of course there's no optical zoom. If I want to take decent shots, I can use the Canon IXUS, or (if I'm allowed
) SWMBO's Nikon D40.
So, although the iPhone's 2MP really is quite lame compared to other current (& older!) smartphones & cameraphones, it doesn't matter
to me as it'd still be good enough for "random drunken pics" etc. etc.

Nothing at Macworld, so I think I'll just stick with the current plan of getting a 16GB iPhone 3G at the end of Feb
EDIT: Then again, it's the CES later this week. Wonder if they'll reveal anything at that.
