Thats all a load of crap....I work with RF ( Radio Frequencies) and fiber lasers every day, I can pop corn in the antenna feed of a satcom up link that puts out around 500 watts at 4.2 GHZ but a cell phone putting out 250 milliwatts, No way.....
Hell most microwaves ovens run at 1000 watts at 2.4 GHZ and they take at least a minute before you see any reaction with the popcorn.....
Myth Busted..........................LOL

Think about the wattage needed to pop corn in a microwave, do you think that a cell phone battery could put that kind of power out?
Ever had a RF (Radio Frequency) burn? Takes less than 50 watts to scorch your skin. Cooked my finger tips on a CB antenna years ago with less than 50 watts.
Don't know, don't care if the popcorn thing is real or not. Just looked pretty cool on the video and makes me laugh at all the folks I see with a cell phone stuck in their ear...
