At full whack a phone puts out 2w. To get it to do that you need to be long way from the nearest cell, but near enough to maintain contact and it only does that at 900MHz. Even then in a call the radio is only on 1/8th of the time.
In practice cells are so close together phones typically put out 0.6w. A microwave oven is about 600watts. So you'd need 8000 phones to match the power of a microwave oven.
Then you would need some way to concentrate the power on the popcorn.
