Wouldn't bother with a course mate, just get a decent camera, preferably with manual mode (even a decent compact camera will do, it's what I started with!), read the manual so you know how to use the various modes, get out there and start taking pictures! All my photography is self taught, with a few hints and tips along the way.
I joined up to photography-forum.org when I started, they have a wealth of guides and knowledge on there, might be worth a look.
From what I've seen of the pics you have taken with your phone, you have a good basic knowledge of framing a shot, so just run with it.
