Some of the Sony Ericson mobile camera phones now have 3.1 million pixel resolution with a lot of the other manufacturers following suite.

With regards to image quality the 1.3 million pixel phone cameras generally do not offer the same sharpness of the 2-3 million pixel cameras.

One area that many mobile phones cameras tend to fail with quality is when they are used of a night. Although they have night mode on them some of the results of a photo being taken of a night produce a photo which is grainy. However, some of the top end mobile phone cameras have night setting with high powered LEDs to light the subject and produce good photos.

Many of the images that are printed out from mobile phone cameras are impressive for the resolution and size of lens especially when they are sent for printing through professional enlargement software and printing devices as used by pics2posters.co.uk.

Pics2posters.co.uk have been able to enlarge digital images from 1.3 million pixel resolution up to A2 size which is 595 x 420mm.

So if you are looking to purchase a mobile phone camera go for a minimum of a 2 million pixel camera upwards and with good camera functions e.g. Light/Exposure Settings and a LED for lighting the subject of a night.
