trying to take more photos

So i have been trying to take more photos, but on a fairly regular basis I only have my phone with me, although it seems that the phone has become the new medium for photographers and film makers.
Hell the new iphone is supposed to have an 8mp camera or something crazy like that.
I remember my first digital camera was only 3mp, but still took some good photos
the only thing that bothers me about the phone camera is you don't have many options for image control.
