Default Testing an app - can I find out compatible handsets without testing every single one?

Hi all,

I am currently testing an BB application - the app works on the curve 8900, Bold 9000 and Bold 9780 models.

Is there any way of finding out what other models the application will work on, without actually testing it on every single handset?

I know that the application will not work on phones having OS less than 4.6 - is there any other common characteristics (to the three above,) I can look for in other handsets that will mean the app will work?

Thanks in Advance

Download BlackBerry's device simulator. This is not going to find all the bugs in an app so you should still get some beta testers to test on actual devices.
