If you mean that the product variable is determined from the first part of the URL, this will do it:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /mobile_rating.php?alias=$2&product=$1 [L,B]

However, I would change the character match from .* to something less generic. The above will rewrite /mobiles/nokia70/abc to /mobile_rating.php?alias=abc&product=mobiles/nokia70.

[^/]+ will match a string that doesn't contain the forward slash, or if you're always using a strict set of letters/numbers, try [a-z0-9-]+ which will match any lowercase letter, digit or the hyphen.
