  Do you think online reviews are trustworthy?

  I am rather sales resistant. I investigate for myself and avoid impulse buying. I fix in my mind what features I want and buy the product that has those and nothing much else. The Nokia phone I have just about sends and receives calls and messages and nothing else, which is all that I wanted. This in spite of carte blanche from my office.

  I do not know if online review are trust worthy or not, but most of the times I personally read them and go with them and never got a different experience.

  They may not be 100% trustworthy, but they do give some important information when you know nothing but the official claims & specifications.
  
  However, the trick is, don't see how many bad or good reviews are given. Read the problems which people are facing & research there. If you find like shitloads of people with the same problem, particularly on the official forum of the product, you can certainly be sure that the problem does exists.
  
  If you read like 2 good reviews on some xyz forum & blindly go forward to purchase just to find that the product is shitty, then, "Welcome to internet". As pointed out by @#-Link-Snipped-# the reviews will always be mixed, however, if there's some genuine manufacturer side problem, you'll findrant about itin every reply. Other than that, most of the times, the users are incapable of using the device & end up blaming the device for their illiteracy.#-Link-Snipped-#

  Online reviews are trustworthy to a certain extent. User comments portray the true drawbacks of the product.

  to an extent okay ☕
  
  but they can't be the only criteria for buying a product

  Well, reviews are never 100% trustworthy, be it online or reviews taken personally with different people. There would be always clash with the likes/thoughts of one person with others. the liking differs from person to person. I think this should not be the criteria to buy something online. for example, if you want to purchase smartphone and go for online review, you will get n number of people who like Apple and almost equal or more number of people who like Android smartphones.

  If we know what we want, then by reading all the features the product is providing we can decide on it.
  
  Reviews are useful to some extent, but we need to figure out what we want and then go for it.
