Well, the main issue is the wobble, but a flatness isn't necessarily the only solution. I wonder if they could use a less-conventional design, perhaps a contoured back with a "fatter" top and bottom that would allow it to rest horizontally, while improving balance and hand-feel. That's a pretty serious camera in the phone, they're doing plenty with the space they're using, and I bet they could cram some more fun components with a fatter bottom.
