Default New iPhone to have flash?

Anyone think the new iPhone(s) will have flash? I'm asking because my 2.0MP iPhone cam takes better pictures than my 3.2MP 8900 and Storm that both have flash. I'm wondering how much better (or worse) will flash make the iPhone.

Here are two pics I took, one was the iPhone and the other was the 8900. Which one do you think is which?

2nd one iPhone, 1st one BB. The iPhone pics don't tend to be grainy

The second one is zoomed? iPhone doesn't zoom in stock form. Plus the 8900 takes warmer looking pics which is evident in pic #2. As for flash on the new iPhone, NO.

Sorry, but a worthless comparison

Flash would make no difference whatsoever on a distant subject such as that!

If you really wanted to compare them, indoor shots within the range of the flash would have been more representative.

Yes, in these photos, your flash is only lighting up the area around you... it's not going to reach and illuminate subjects that far away. The examples above are simply the result of different exposures.

The second photo was intentionally underexposed by the camera because the lens thought the flash would add more light. It compensated for this, but since the flash couldn't reach the distant subject matter, the result was not enough light allowed into the lens to properly expose the cityscape.

The first photo was properly exposed because it didn't detect a flash adding more light.

Not really... the water was right next to my feet and the flash didn't do anything for it either

Yeah doing an indoor would make no difference. Anywhere dark makes a fine comparison. You can see the difference, and that was the point.
