Well, we are all guilty of trying to capture pictures using our mobile phones' camera without thinking about technical things and expect our pictures to be good. To be honest, not because our phones boasted of having so and so megapixels, it does not mean that it is going to capture great images. So when I come across this article about how to make our pictures taken by our phone's cameras, I decided to share it with you all. So here are the tips:
Proper Lighting
To avoid dark and blurry shots, keep the light source behind you and shinig on your subjects.
Good Composition
Imagine a tic-tac-toe board over your frame. Use the intersection points as target for your subjects.
Steady hands
Turn your elbow into a makeshift tripod by propping it on a tabletop.
I hope these tips help you. I got this from an article from yahoo.com

I would also like to add that in some mobile phones like my Nokia N73 you could adjust the exposure compensation and white balance. 
Camera phones also have a automatic settings for different types of photo that you want to take. These settings are landscape, portrait, sports, and macro. Fox example, if you want to shoot fast moving subjects you should set your automatic settings to sports.
Camera phones also have a software where you could edit you pictures as soon as you've taken it but I still prefer to edit my photos using Adobe Photoshop.

Well, with improving digital camera technology, I do feel that more functions will be automated for digital cameras. Already, we have modes in camera that will auto detect the suitable conditions and switch to the appropriate settings, such as going into 'beach mode' when you are taking photos at the beach. There is no doubt that mobile phones will soon catch up.
We have already reached a stage where the photo quality taken from a mobile phone is not a problem. 5MP is decent enough. 8MP is more than sufficient for casual users. However, I still feel that it is very tricky to shot at night, regardless of using a mobile phone or camera. Photos often turn out blur due to slow shutter speed. Taking photos at night requires you to stand very still, which is quite impossible when you are without a tripod (imagine a phone with a tripod...) or objects are constantly moving. If technology manage to overcome this problem, I do think that people will be able to take relatively good pictures regardless of skills.
