I doubt you'll get a satisfactory answer since this type of thing is definitely not newbie-level to execute. Sorry.

It's not about being willing I bet :)
One way would be to have people email files to an email address and then upload automatically from there.
Maybe this info will help you find a solution :)

Hey,

I know a way to achieve this because I had the same idea and had it working for a short time.

It involved Flickr and my Sony Ericcson W810i (2.0 Megapixel Camera / Phone).

I had an SMS Address on my phone that would e-mail to a blog and would automatically post it with the template I provided in Flickr.

It was called Photo2Blog.

I think you should be able to pull the similar thing, except with a site like YouTube or something.

Try searching on-line for "mobile phone video to blog" or anything to the extent of involving 3-4 of those keywords. You should have pretty good luck and I am sure there is something out there.

Good Luck!

www.expressionengine.com has a moblog feature which might be worth a look at.
