Why? I'd rather have a phone that can do basic operations with a ultra long battery life.. For pictures I always have a better camera anyway and same with video..
You always have a better camera and camcorder with you? Granted 20mp takes the proverbial but something like a 6mp cam with decent optics and xenon in a mobile would be sweet. I for one don't carry my DSLR and suite of lenses with me at all times.
Look, Its not how many mega picles it has. Its the quality of the CCD and the shutter speed (ISO) that counts. Current phones are a joke and unless you keep an ultra steady hand focus and blur is a joke. I would be over the moon to have a phone with only 3MP but every shot you take is crystal clear and crisp and low light shots are equivalent to the naked eye in exposure and colour, similarly sharp and in focus.
Mega pixel numbers are for idiots who just have not got a clue!

A cell phone camera has a minuscule sensor and crappy small lens, having 20MP on a sensor that small means you are having even smaller photosites that capture light.
Going with high-megapixel count for a cell phone camera actually reduces quality. Which is the reason why modern dSLRs and point-and-shoots are focusing more on dynamic range and high-ISO performance and sacrificing megapixels these days. ~8MP is the resolution needed to print a 8X10 photograph at 300dpi, modern 8-12MP cameras are more then the average person needs (Nikon intentionally kept their full-frame D3/700 at 12MP). Resolution has never been the problem with cell-phone photographs, the problem is that cell phone camera pictures looks like a noisy mess with poor color representation; increasing megapixels doesn't solve that problem.

You need 20 megapixels!!

Shutter speed does not = ISO. They are seperate concepts.
