 I would really like to see a site or wiki page where all these (about
 10) distros would be reviewed and compared every x weeks or so.. One
 could compare the availability of software (gprs, web, gps),
 stability, power saving features, ability to make phone calls and so
 on and maybe also list 'biggest annoyances' that then could hopefully
 be focused on by the developers/community.
 
 Is there anyone who could do this?

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions

is the closest i've seen, but doesn't really go far enough
  - it's very mechanical, doesn't go enough into what it's actually like 
to use in a more general sense

I think this wiki page aims what you're looking for. I'm not sure if its
_very_ up-to-date and complete but its quite useful in this state.

Yeah, this is really needed.  I would be happy to try images and  
report on them every week, I just don't have the time and resources to  
set up a server that would present the details properly, and I  
definitely don't want to bury this in the wiki.  Something like what  
the GP2X scene has in the forms of regular updates and reviews would  
be ideal ..

This really is the intention of that wiki page, but we can't keep up 
with testing each distribution. I will be putting more time into testing 
the different distros.

i think there should be more of a 'news and current details' sort of  
site, more than an authoritative list-of-distro's currently running,  
sort of thing .. sort of active pimpage.
