about 1 or 2 megapixels of course it's grainy,
garbage in>>> garbage out


if these photos will be used larger than 1x2 inches as a cell screen they 
will always look like crap compared to a decent camera with 5-10
megapixels
even a film camera at 1600 will give grain, you have to light it well ,
use 
decent resolution in the first place

the solution above with filters blur is close to what you need but without

much more knowledge of PS you will not achieve that by yourself
