A phone should be good at being a phone, it may be acceptable at being a point and shoot camera too .. but a true camera should all ways be better than a phone trying to be a camera. Especially in difficult situations. Just depends on how important a photo will be to you. Looking back I'd like to have taken more good photos, that means stopping more often and using a good camera.
So I don't see them amalgamating ... if you are truly after a camera or a phone.
Me? The 'smart phone' is;
a phone
the point and shoot camera (and back up camera)
alarm
calendar
calculator
note taker (either text or voice)
MP3 player (music and podcasts)
a back up GPS/maper
a backup for the paper maps
backup torch
.. and a few other things .. not travel connected.
The wifi .. I'm concerned with the security of that so I'd don't use it unless I know the network.
