There are photo threads here and there, but this one is more general in intent. I use my cell almost exclusively nowadays (Galaxy SIII). Because I always have it, am familiar with it to the point where it's almost point and shoot, and most of all because I'm lazy.
Looking at that thing, I am still amazed by how some photos come out, after the pinhole lens captured light. Here's a sample of a few shots I enjoyed the most.
This flower was shot using Macro setting, as was the ladybug below it:

Night shots are harder. I use the low light setting for most, even though it makes part of the background funky (grainy), which some imaging programs can help correct, as does switching to black & white in effects:

Black & white works pretty well during daytime in rain:

But it also works in some natural settings like redwoods, where the phone seems to blend red and brown in such a way that the image loses depth and definition:
