Mobile-review i think is the best, although their reviews are sometimes too long and monotonous. GSM-Arena is also very good for someone looking for a small review.
The worst i think is mobile-burn. I think that website should be shut down. Its got a horrible interface and even worse reviews.

Yeah I like GSMArena too. They sometimes piss me off by being a bit thick, but usually they are fine. (Example: they thought being able to put a note onto the standby screen was a new feature for the W760i!)
Mobile Review is good too, I especially liked the iPhone vs. iPod Touch article. It was well written. Though sometimes their translations are terrible and that probably annoys me more than GSMArena's stupidity.

But yeah, those two seem to be the best of the best.

I tend to use Mobile-review and GSMarena, found both to be generally good, where are these guys based, somewhere in eastern Europe?
I've also found O2 and Amazon user reviews/comments good.

GSM arena can sometimes be a little "childish" IMO. Dont know, but sometimes i can sense that in their reviews.

Yeah GSMArena seem a bit childish, but they get things done. I hate when they put something really dumb in the pros and cons of a phone. Thats annoys me.

One other site I quite like for reviews on all things tech, is Cnet. Not the American one so much, but Cnet Asia seems good. Theres probably a European one too.

Yeah their videos are good. Usually they don't give an opinion in them, but more of a preview.

Their proper reviews are excellent though.

GSM ARENA i think are good cant think of any others for bad as i dont read any others. Review Centre is average. Only thing i hate about GSM Arena is when they mention about how good the call quality is of a phone. What they always say is exactly the same words everytime. They always say CALL QUALITY WAS GOOD AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. Very indepth.

phonearena carries good mobile reviews too, besides gsmarena and M-R. what i don't like in gsmarena (i guess part of their being childish) is to claim that what they have is a REVIEW when in fact the unit they used in that "review" is a proto/beta unit. so they call it a review?

in phonearena, they specifically point out whether their article is a PREview or a review.

also worth mentioning for good reviews are: softpedia, smape and mobique
