But that just the problem, phone camera's are always going to have tiny sensors which is no good if you want great photo's no matter how good your phone's camera is.
I only ever use the camera on my phone for very basic things.
I have a nice point and shoot which comes with me most places and a Nikon Dslr for more organised trips.
So yes it's a great camera on the N95 but like all phones that's all they're ever going to be, Phones , so the camera argument doesn't come into it really

You've raised a good point about Digital camera (and by extension, camera phone) marketing. For years, we've had the number of megapixels in the photo rammed down our throats, probably because it's easier to impress someone with a higher number of megapixels than it is to quantify how good a lens system is.
This isn't true, of course. In terms of picture quality, my cousin's EOS 350D (with 6MP CCD) thoroughly beats my own Sony Cybershot (with 8MP CCD), yet based purely on the number of pixels, the Sony looks better.
Regarding "The Best Phone". There isn't one. As Matt says, they all have strengths and weaknesses. The best phone is actually the best phone for you. It will be different depending on the user's needs and wants.
Regarding phone cameras, I've had a few. The two best I have had were on an N95 and my current iPhone 4. Both produce good snaps. IMO, the iphone has the edge slightly, because although they both have 5MP cameras, the iPhone produces slightly more realistic colour.
