Hi RRManiac,
You might try adding some extra lighting - even a desk lamp -to help your cell camera out. My first digicam had lower resolution and fewer features than most cell cameras today, yet takes pictures just fine:

This picture was taken without flash, but with two extra "flex-arm" desk lights that have compact fluorecents in them. I position one in front, and one more overhead and to the side.
You can also check out these Digital Photography Tips. Not all apply to cellphone cams, but things like lighting, and bracing against something to hold the camera still will help you. You probably should also back up a bit, since it looks like the camera is having trouble focussing that close (extra light will help that also). You can always crop the unneeded part of the photo before posting.
