I don't own a digital camera so I whenever I want to take a picture I just use my camera phone. When you have a picture from a phone processed at the 1-hour photo do they trun out just as good as pictures from a digital camera?

It depends on the resolution of the camera and the phone.
The best resolution that you will probably find on a camera phone is 1.3 megapixels (megapixels is a measurement of resolution).
The higher the megapixels, the better the image quality. If you wanted to get 4x6 prints, a camera phone would be ok if you are not picky (assuming it is a 1.3 megapixel camera phone), but 4 megapixels or greater is what is recommended for quality 4x6 pictures.
If you wanted to print an 8x10, you would need at least a 6 megapixel camera for a decent picture. Check out the link below for more information on digital cameras.

Photos from a phone camera are ok.

NOPE... at least not yet
it really depends on the size of the picture. 2x3 to 3x5 you might get away with it but 5x7 onwards you will see the difference.
Because of several reasons such as lens quality, sensor size and type, and compression of the file.
I have always been a lazy butt in bringing my SLR around if it wasn't for work. So I have been testing different phone cameras just to see what model would make good images.
Phone cameras tested
SE P800
SE K700
SE K750i Ok at 3x5
SE P990i acceptable at 5x7
N 6101
N 6260
N N93 Good at 5x7
Motorola Razr Vx
I have printed several pictures using these phones to test the image quality. Only the following would "pass" in terms of sharpness and color quality SE K700 at 3x5, SE K750i at 4x5, P990i at 5x7. N93 at 5x7 good. at 8x10 there is color shifting and ghosting.
I currently use a N93, its images are not as "great" as they advertised, but the video is the best. I even connected it to a 32" flat screen TV and the video was great! including the sound considering the fact that its just a cell phone.
Hope this helps
Ciao

I have a samsung a640 camera phone and the pics are garbage, but i didn't buy it for the camera. it's a 0.3 mega pixel, or 640x480. multiply the numbers and you get the total # of pixels. the only thing the pic are good for is making screen savers. if I print the pictures I can see the pixels.
my boyfriend has a samsung a900, I think it's a 2.0 mega pixel and has a flash. the pic quality is better and can make decent 4x6's.
there good for those "I wish I had a camera" moments, but I recommend buying a dig camera

my camera phone is crap...i have a motorola ... i don't know about all camera phones, but i think you get better quality from digital cameras than you would a camera phone anyday. however, i would suggest you buy a one time use digital camera ... i just recently found out about these @ a CVS pharamcy store, they're 12.99 which isn't too bad. the website actually says 19.99 but i thought i really saw it at 12.99. It might be a little more pricey because it does not include processing, however i think that the prints would be better than prints you would get from a camera phone.
This is a great thing for people who don't own a digital camera and don't want to purchase one.

Yes ..It is Based on the Phone Model
Check if it is more than 3.2 Mega Pixel then it is Ok.
But Mostly you don't have Zoom function in handphone,It is Zoom then it is Good,Zoom should be atleast 3x Optical zoom.
Finally memory should be atlest 32MB is better 16MB also ok.

Short: No, not yet.
it is about resolution (how many megapixels - 5 Megapixels is good) and lens.
