There are now companies who provide you with 260 handsets to test on:

In our best Nooper times, we were never able to test on more then
86 handsets.
What people often forget is the fact that Keitai browsers are "hardware"
(or better a integrated part of hardware) and there is no way of
simulating all of them. So the whole process of designing an application
for "software" (Windows etc) or for "hardware" (something you have to
feel) is very, very different.
