I'm looking for a camera phone that does a great job with
its camera function. Most important, the image has to be
sharp and vivid. Any site review with captured image
samples would be a great to help me decide.

I don't think you're going to really get that with any of the current
generation of phones. Better to use a real digital camera.

The best of the current lot is probably the Sony Ericsson S700.

You need 2.1 megapixels to get a 4" x 6" picture (at 300 dots per inch)
- do the math.
Stateside there are no phones with such cameras.

Given a good lens (a weak point on most cell phone cameras), you can get good
printed results with much less then 300 pixels (not dots) per inch. An image
of only 1.3 megapixels (currently the high end of cell phone cameras) can
produce excellent 4x6 and very good 5x7.

Do the math. a 5 x 7 picture has 35 square inches. 1.3 megapixels divied
by 35 is 37000 pixels per square inch which is fewer than 200 dots
(pixels) per inch, which is about the quality of a "fine" fax. or in
other words poor, I know nobody that would call graphics on a standard
FAX very good, except for John Navas.

I see that your ignorance of cellular technology is matched by your ignorance
of digital photography.

The optics on camera phones are, to be nice, crap. A megapixel imager
can't make up for a fifty-cent piece of plastic masquerading as a
lens.

Digital photography certainly is non-intuitive. Some good links that
explain some of the issues...
