I would much rather have a sensor that could take a decent 2 mpixel image than another grainy, noised filled cmos on.
Honestly, not to mention why would people even need a 8 mpixel or hell even a 3 or 5 mp coms quality image in the first place period is still baffling.
clearly you don't have a decent camera phone... I use a sony ericsson K800i with a 3.2 megapixel camera (with Xenon flash too!) and I have to say it's a lifesaver... many times have I wanted to take a nice picture (not a crap VGA one) and been happy to have a quality camera on my cell phone (especially as my 5mpx still camera recently broke). Convenience only goes so far when quality still counts - that's why I'll be upgrading to a K850i (5 megapixel) when I get a new phone.

John: Well, as long as YOU believe you're getting better pictures out of a 5MP sensor the same size as the 3.2MP one you're using now.
Of course in reality I'm sure the 5MP will do far worse in low light.
