I've not seen a phone with a 'decent' camera. I tried a 3G phone with a
'VGA' camera, but the pics are awful. Maybe the cmos sensor is vga, but
the lens isn't.
  Can you live with a separate camera?  There are some very small
CMOS-based ones. I even saw one in the local Action supermarket for $70.
Has removable card, so is fine with linux, and you might even put the card
into a suitable phone to e-mail the pictures.

Nokia has a new one that looks OK on paper. 1Mp, removable card.

beware the awful trendy keypads on some models.
