I hadn't heard that about the photos being that detailed. If that is accurate then it certainly wasn't a camera phone.
My camera phone (motorola v-something or other) takes pictures at resolutions up to 1280 x 1024). I think we're talking 1 megapixel, but that ain't bad. I have a great picture of Tomas Vokoun taken from the back of the lower bowl at the Gaylord Entertainment Center. This technology is incredible.
