for example n86 8mp saves the images as 1mb jpgs right? it takes picture > compresses it > saves it

it wouldnt be much of a hassle to add option to not to compress photos if wanted i wonder why you cant do this yet or correct me if im wrong

the images would take approx 50 megabytes this way, but you could later save them as png's for example or just less compressed jpgs for better quality

I don't think you'd want actual .RAW images. That's sensor data without even noise correction, and given the fairly hideous noise levels on all cameraphones (even the best ones in daylight!) they'd be difficult to work with. A lossless file after noise correction would be nice, but I think that the noise correction artefacts wind up hiding the JPEG artifcats anyway.

Exactly. It's a phone with a camera strapped on that you have there, not a digital camera that can make and receive calls. You can't expect the same image quality from a cameraphone, even one that is sold as an imaging device, as you can from a dedicated digital camera.
