Mobile device testing for BlackBerry smart phones - acquiring test phones

Question

Hello,

I have been developing a BlackBerry application for about 7 months, and I have started to do a lot of testing.

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to test my application on different BlackBerry devices (without having to purchase them)? I have the BlackBerry Tour and the BlackBerry Storm, but I can only have my Verizon network on one at a time.

Is there a specific way that mobile developers go through this type of testing?

Thanks!
