I'd be pretty cool shooting 8MP+ photos. The quality of a cell phone camera, however, is not anywhere close to a real camera, not even the point-and-shoot ones.
I remember back in 2009 when the Pixon12 came out everyone was expecting outstanding photos from the 12 megapixel shooter, but in reality it wasn't much better than the 8 megapixel shooters. I believe that 8 - 12 megapixels is more than enough. The manufacturers should focus on making better sensors and lenses, not more megapixels.
Yeah, flash does sound like a problem with cell phones. I'm hoping to see some user reviews of the altek leo, just in case it's something good, although I'd go for separate gadgets - one for photos and one for calling.
Well, Xenon flashes are quite nice and handle low light environments quite well. I totally agree that it is better to have two devices, but I hate to have my pockets stuffed with tech, a cell phone is enough.

I agree with you, 8 megapixel camera is ok, and one good flash

I believe that 5MP with some decent lens(like Carl Zeiss for example) and a flash is more than enough....take a look at Nokia X6 for example
Is X6 something really different in terms of photo quality?
I've read for a cell phone with 16 mega-pixels...sick people
