I have zoomed into your img on my MacBook Pro 17" and I don't see noise, but after some zooming the pixels appear.
Set quality to max (5M) and will be better (smaller pixels).

My N900 is great for macro shots, but crap for everything else - even in very bright daylight outdoors.

what about manually setting the ISO to 100 ?
e: and what about keeping the EXIF -data when you have such questions?

Why I am posting here is that I heard few mentions of such perils, so maybe it is that I am doing something wrong.
To see what I am talking about, take a look at this picture taken in the best light conditions available. The quality is 1.3M. Everything is on "auto".
You taken a photo with 1.3 MP and you are complaining?
Take the picture with 5MP and then shrink it to 1.3MP then you'll see the difference.
Of cause if you zoom the picture it will pixelated, that is true for every HD camera out there as well. Even with your own eyes, if you look too close at a picture or an object, it became blurr. So does it make sense to you?
Here the picture I took with full 5Mpx,

You guys are right. Switching to a greater resolution and manually setting the ISO does improve the quality. I have tried it before, but did not notice improvement, but do see it now at closer inspection. There is still plenty of space for improvement, though.
maxximuscool: Thanks. I am not "complaining" =)
I am surprised that decreasing the resolution increases the amount of noise. The noise looks like compression noise. As if a regular 5M picture is taken and then compressed into a small (dimension-wise) JPG with bad quality.
In any case I will play around more. Thanks.

Besides, just in case you haven't realized, you need to half-pressed the shutter to focus before shooting for automatic, close-up and portrait mode. The frame will turn from white to green when focus is right. (i know you might already have known this one anyway)
Also, you could try third party camera apps like blessn900 and fcamera and choose carefully the mode in different lightning condition.
The noise is mostly due to wrong lightning, so choose the mode carefully.
Hope this help.
