If your only concerns are convenience and speed of use, the smartphone will win hands-down.

My only problem, convenience-wise, with the smartphone is that I always have auto-rotation disabled, because I often read or browse or play games while I'm lying down. So when I start the camera, it's in portrait orientation and I have to enable auto-rotation before snapping, then shut auto-rotation back off after I'm done photographing. If I didn't do that, the image itself would be captured fine, but it'd be marked as portrait-oriented. Besides, all the on-screen controls are laid out for portrait orientation. Many people won't have this problem.
