Could You Ditch Your Camera for a Cellphone Camera?

If cameras became good enough in cell phones, would you ditch your stand-alone camera? What I mean by that is this, right now I use the camera in my phone on occasion for those times when I have forgotten my camera and there's something that needs to be captured.  I prefer a quality camera though, and so at this point, I could never stop using my camera and start using the one that comes built-in to my phone.  If however, there was a phone with a quality camera built-in, I would consider ditching my camera for one in my phone simply because it's one less device that I'd have to worry about carrying around.
