You pay much for the 'coolness factor', miniaturization etc.
IMO, the T1 is still quite a good cam for it's size.

Definately. And the noise is only noticeable at certain times when zooming at full size. Not complaining, just saying noise can be quite evident sometimes.

Yeah, but I think some laws of physics apply at that level of miniaturization as well.
But the answer lies in pixel pitch.
Most dSLR cameras (most of which have sensors the size of a APS-C film frame, and therefore many times the size of a standard compact cam sensor) can take relatively noise free images up to ISO 800 or even 1600, while compact cameras' images get notable noise as with ISO values as low as 200 or even 100 on newer 8MP sensors.
This will always be a limiting factor when optimizing sensors in compact cameras using current CCD or CMOS technology.

Not to mention much bigger lenses allowing more light onto the sensor.
My Canon D60 has an extremely noise free CCD. I can take 6 megapixel extreme-length exposures at night in total darkness with almost no noise pixels.
I'd say that the noise at ISO800/1600 is less discernable than film grain of average hi-speed films. Even if ISO400, enlarges on typical film will show grain.
I only use my canon film SLR for doing slide film now or black&white work.
