Digi cams usually store in raw format. Most mobiles will convert that raw to the best quality jpeg/jpg it could muster given the programming requirements.
By rule and format, jpg is a great deal smaller than raw. Unless you are planning to use your N900's images for something other than11x17 posterboards, then the size shoudln't matter

There's some interesting disussion on this in this thread. In short, the JPEG compression is set fairly high, and it appears that the noise reduction may be stripping a lot of detail so turning it down doesn't seem to help much.

Just looks a little grainy(er) or something - i dont know, hard to explain. Thought it might be related. Looks pretty good though, for a phone:

That pic is still very good. Quality is like the N95. Typical 5MegaPixel Camera

Is there a way to output RAW directly without automatic conversion to JPEG? Might be useful if one wanted to compress it with PNG, for example.

Have you ever wondered as to why your dedicated digital camera has such crappy cell phone reception?
Look, the N900 is a "do it all" device. As such, it will never exceed at one thing. It will, however, do everything it's designed to do, well.
As such, you can't expect 54Mb/s WiFi speeds, full sized 101key keyboard, 34" display, or a camera that will outshine a dedicated 5MP digital camera. It takes decent pictures, but don't expect a cell phone to replace DSLR quality anytime soon.

image is highly compressed - so you wont notice the bad quality of the sensor....
:-)
No sorry - but most cheap 5 mpix pocket cams takes far better pictures. So lets vote for a less degrading jpg format - or at least a choice between 2-3 different jpg compressions (ok, fine and superfine?)

I would rather have a 2 or 3 mpix in better quality than the junk sensors they put in now.
