Will someone please tell the phone makers that placing the flash closeto the lens is the primary cause of red-eye?

I just noticed this, and realized that most camera phones make the same mistake of placing the flash close to the lens. I'd love to see a phone where the lens and flash are as far apart as possible. Does that exist?
