Any other time, I've got my S95 with me, just in case I see something worth shooting. I've come to hate shooting JPG, and lament the fact that I did it for so long when I first got a DSLR. That said, cell phone shooting is out for me, even with a camera as nice as the one on the iPhone 4S.
I know what you mean, i have a few thousand JPG only photos on some hard drives, and i know that those pictures will never be all that they can be... It's sad... I'll have to re-explore places i've been, just so i can do it over again in RAW and have it as beautiful as it should be.

As for shooting things with a camera phone or a simple point and shoot, i feel pain holding one up in front of my face knowing i'm about to click a shot that i can never fully edit to it's maximum potential.

I have one of those point and shoots that can go under water, and that's all it's used for, it sits at the bottom of my camera bag, always waiting for it's opportunity.
