Until we get automated testing in place, it is an unfortunate reality of this project.
Either that or "toss it over the wall" to maintainers and have them verify for you on different platforms. To me, THAT seems impractical. The quickest way is to do it yourself. I can test iOS, Android and BlackBerry almost simultaneously on my Mac (gets trickier with WP7 - separate machine helps with this).
