I don't know of any services so I cant really answer your question,
but I've been thinking about this alot too lately, so please forgive
me as I ramble about it a bit:

For those with their own website (as opposed to just a blogger
account) ... hosting solutions that use cpanel (and probably most
others) let you set up an email address that will redirect to a perl
script, or even a php script.

There are some good examples in either language available out there on
how to parse the email and save off attachments ... but I'm not sure
I'm smart enough to tweak them out as needed (and my phone's video
service is extremely limited anyhow so I haven't bothered to try). 

What would be awesome would be if some of the brilliant people out
there could make such a script that anybody could use on their site
(adjusting a few key setup variables).  The email parser script could
include a 'switch case' to decide how to do the actual update to the
blog. 
The individual vlogger would have to set a variable to indicate which
type of blog they use.  The script could then have a sort of plug-in
ability for the various blog systems out there.  One option for
blogger XLM-RPC, one for Wordpress, and one which just parses out the
data from the email and makes it available for home-grown-apps to
create their own plug-in to do the actual updating of the blog.

If I ever get a decent video-messaging service I may revisit the code
myself ... but I make no claims of smartness.
