An ethical, focused content site with well-targeted ads?
Beyond that, people who buy smartphones don't get much support from their carrier or their phone's manufacturer after the contract is signed. Most phone buyers aren't checking out appbrain and browsing their phone's app store. This site would offer straightforward ways for people to get real utility out of their expensive hardware.
The core of the content, alongside links to others' video reviews and so on, would be a few paragraphs dealing with practical considerations in plain English for the non-technical user, for phones, apps, carriers, and technologies. The value added is a distillation of the issues that a technical consumer can get elsewhere. Mainstream journalism is lousy for helping people gain useful understanding of issues like this, and the kind of person searching for help is also the kind of person likely to click on very well-targeted ads about the products that they're now well-informed about.
Do you thing there's enough value here to make a site along those lines? Is there enough money in targeted phone and accessory ads to make it worth the effort to build a trustworthy site that ranks highly for http://www.google.com/search?q=what+smartphone+should+I+buy ?
