Most JPEG engines are using primitive denoise techniques. By using RAW and taking complete control over this process you can create more eye-pleasing effects. This is especially important in cameras where matrix and optics are low-quality - and objectively N900 stuff is low quality comparing to other photo gear.

IMO by average you can gain 1-2 EV with RAW processing.
