I don't know if camera phones are any different, but with DSLR's it's more about the lens than anything. It's better to invent in a $500-$1000 dollar lens than a $1000-$1500 camera.
Well, sort of. Part of that doesn't really have to do with the quality of the lens glass, it's often more to do with gaining something out of the lens that you wouldn't otherwise get, like a specialized focal length or a wide aperture or faster focusing mechanism.
Lots of the cheapo consumer lenses actually have sharpness in spades.
The lens is important for a lot of reasons, but you can see the impact that bad sensors and bad processing have on these images for the camera phones. Blotchy details due to heavy image processing to remove noise - noise which is generated by having too many pixels packed into too small an area.
