But phones can have LED 'flashes' (they aren't really flashes imo) and a xenon flash too.
I think most phones don't have xenon because it adds a lot of weight to the phones and adds cost of production. Led flashes are terrible in comparison.

I have had a few phones with excellent LED "flashes" like the Samsung Jet & iphone 4 which reached a good distance in darkness like this shot I did with Samsung Jet

I agree my i8910 has a strong led but I think itīs a matter of space with both an led and a zenon. It makes the camera module both larger and much more complicated. Phones usually start out as several different projects which are then assimilated and if you came to the table with an led zenon hybrid camera module you'd be told to go and lose one of them.

This was taken with iphone 4 in pitch black though it's noisy it's better than most LED's

Though, recently try out Iphone 4 LED it was some surprising result for me too.
At this time, Iphone 4 is now all round powerful device
I would love to get one myself but SATIO especially piece of xenon and another 3Gs won't let me

The one advantage of some LED's is they can be used as a video light in recording mode in darkness

And a flashlight
I'm not too fond of using a flash on a camera... Never use the one on my dslr, nor my point and shoot. Makes photos look flat.
I'd rather they increase the sensitivity or maybe give us night shot/ ir instead.

But you can't compare LED to xenon, LED is just a light that comes on whilst you take the photo, it doesn't flash at all.

I really miss the flash on my C905, it's falling to bits now so I don't take it out much at all but even dual flash is no substitute for Xenon no matter which way you look at it but it's best to have both.
Could the reason for there being no Xenon be the size? The capacitor is the biggest part of the Xenon unit and most high end phones are getting thinner and thinner.
I would definitely buy an Android based 8.0MP shooter with Xenon.
