Carl Zeiss optics are crap. OP doesn't know what SLR means. OP probably doesn't know what people spend more money on their glass than their body. Ignore the SLR part; phone cameras will still suck, no matter what.
Nath is right: you can't change the laws of physics when it comes to cameras.
Good comment at Engadget: "No, this would be someone saying that watching movies on the screen of a phone will make cinemas obsolete."
This is pretty much spot on, but on the other hand, this has been the case with camera phones for several years already. They have been good enough to replace SLR cameras for indiscriminate photographers for a long time already.
or then the most probable explanation: someone (khrm OP khrm) has misquoted something heavily?
I wasn't there to actually hear Vanjoki say anything, but according to other blogs he said to a photographer in the audience that "soon he wouldn't need to lug around all those lenses (and his DSLR) any longer, since Nokia camera phones would be good enough to replace them).
This does implicate that he meant the quality of photos produced by camera phones would be higher or as high as that produced with a DSLR in the near future(?). He didn't actually say when - I see now that the 12 months estimate was about HD video in camera phones and had nothing to do with the replacing of DSLRs.

exactly.
OP please edit the topic because it is 110% incorrect.
But for a common user slr, carl zeiss , HD blah blah at such tags would hardly matter, If the camera quality is better in resolution and with affordable/competitive price tag attached to it . Omnia HD thus leads the race (cheaper than n900, 8mpx).
A simple example is n70 , without any tags has much better camera clarity/resolution with just 2mpx when compared to nokia 5800 with so called carl zeiss lens at 3.2 mpx
I think this whole FUD was started by Engadget, which is basically a Nokia-haters blog...
Luckily they didn't misquote Vanjoki saying that "In 12 months Nokia will replace all those clumsy orbital telescopes with camera-phones"...
