this could become a very interesting discussion.
i happen to be a hobbyist photographer also but i am far from good...
but even i can say that taking good pictures with a cell phone camera is a lot harder and requires a lot more attention that doing the same with a DSLR.
the phones ususally don't offer much when it comes to focussing, so a steady hand or @gregzeng tip #1 is very important.
on the other hand, if you are into Lomography a phone camera actually is far better for that than to buy a lomo camera.
to make a photo more interesting you can also experiment with the compositioning.
eg - play with the rule of thirds and such. having your object of "desire" smack in the middle of the picture is what most people will do but its not very interesting then.
