SMS Sugar Man - Feature film shot on cell phones?

[Shawn Murphy]

--sorry if this was already posted before, but the search didn't bring back anything and I'm trippin' on this one--

Sony Ericsson sponsored the film by providing W900i cell phones.

..blown up to 35mm, with a budget of $164,000, using 8 "cameras".

"...said the footage looked "fabulous" when blown up to the standard 35mm feature-film size."

Was the whole budget spent on the blow-up to 35mm?

NYU had a competition for a cell phone film under 30 seconds not too long ago...never blown up to film though.

Hmm, it has a 3D accelerator card inside the phone to allow high quality video, see for your self the samples on this review of the phone:
