Default Camera-phone recommendations?

I'm after a new mobile phone. Any suggestions for one with a half-decent camera in it so I can take a quick snap of a fish before returning it? I know I won't get the same quality of pics as I would with a "real" camera but I need to travel light when fishing and don't have the expertise for proper photography anyway (and to be honest, don't really have the motivation to learn it either!). Only other feature I need is decent battery life. Cheaper the better too.

Any ideas for this technophobe would be most welcome.

Cheers

Neil

I have a Samsung Galaxy s2.
Its got an 8 megapixel camera and takes full HD video too.
Best quality pictures ive had from a phone and its really slim and light.

Very pleased with the camera on my iPhone 4s, no fish pics yet, this one of a blind that's going back to the manufacturer.

If your not in a rush... Maybe wait a few weeks or so, rumours are the Galaxy S3 is coming out in March... High spec,poss 16 mega pixel hd camera... Or maybe the Iphone5, June time... Lots of good phones out there even now, as stated the Galaxy S2, IPhone 4S, Sony etc.
