The most common and important difficulties that should be overcome by testers is testing on multiple types of handsets and automation testing.

How can you overcome them?

As a tester you need to make yourself more aware of the automation services/tools to run tests on mobiles handsets.
A smart mobile simulation program is hooked on to the actual (physical) handset at 'device anywhere' site. Companies pay per use or a monthly fee. The UI is like that of a mobile simulator, but the tests run on a phone.
The beauty lies in the variety of mobile phones they offer. I'm no way connected to device anywhere company but I'm a customer who is benefiting from their service. Awesome part is: automation testing on physical devices, how nice does it get?

Knowledge of popular handset used by public will also be of immense help to test mobile applications.
