You'll have to load the picture onto a computer and read the EXIF data. Most photo editing programs can do this. If you don't have one, post the picture here and we can give you the info.
when it´s on your computer just click on it and press apple+i and you will get all the information
+i 
I'm on 10.5.6 and doing this does not give me the date the photo was taken.
Are you sure about this?
Maybe this will be the new thing that people ask Apple for in a new firmware update now. I have a 3 year old Nextel phone that I use now (until the new iphone comes out in June) that save the picture default name to the date and has a dash to indicate how many pictures were on that date (Apr20-001, Apr20-002, etc). Maybe in 3.1 you'll be able to tell the date of the picture right on the phone. It doesn't seem to be a hard thing to do
Unless you modify it, the EXIF is of the date the photograph was taken. Check it for yourself.
You don't have to send them to your computer anymore. I made an iPhone app to solve this problem - check it out here https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-date/id605218393?ls=1&mt=8
