Much like the delay in WiFi-Cell combo phones the carriers have (intentionally?) positioned themselves are the wrong side and are going to fall really hard. Two points:

The bottom line is that they have mostly shitty lenses so the higher MP the higher you magnify the crap. If one of these manufacturers can pack in a nice lens in a cell phone I'll buy it. With such small form factors though I have my doubts. It doesn’t matter how many megapixels these camera phones have.
