That depends on which type of handset you are testing.
But there some basic functionalities , which are common in all handsets
In that case there are
RF testing              
Current testing      
Functional Testing 

If you have extra funcionalities then you need to check for each functionality.

I think you should be more specific, as rightly replied before which type of testing you want in handset testing, the main part of handset testing is RF and network testing get a clear idea.

SOME MOBILE PHONE TEST CASES
This is not an exhaustive list. As you see mobile phone testing is a rigorous process that can easily require numerous test cases.

START UP
1) Can fully charge battery
2) Inserting SIM is intuitive and fool-proof
3) Inserting battery is intuitive and fool-proof
4) Can power on the mobile phone
5) Power-on splash screen meets requirements (ex: format branding)
6) Set-up page asks if you want to set time and date
a) returning 'yes' allows you to complete set-up
b) returning 'no' skips set-up
7) Completing or skipping set-up goes to main page

MAIN PAGE
1) Text graphics format color scheme and branding meet requirements
2) Time and date are properly displayed on screen
3) Signal strength is properly displayed on screen
4) Battery level is properly displayed on screen
5) Left soft button text reads 'Call'
6) Right soft button text reads 'Menu'
7) Pressing left soft button displays Call Log
8) Pressing right soft button displays Applications Menus
9) Pressing left return button does nothing
10) Pressing right clear button does nothing

PLACING A CALL
1) Pressing a number key opens foreground window
2) Foreground window has proper dimensions and graphics
3) Selected number is displayed along bottom left of window
4) The text related to soft key changes from 'Calls' to 'Call'
5) Pressing additional numbers adds corresponding numbers from left to right
6) Pressing clear button deletes right-most number
7) Can clear entire entry
8) With numbers populated in the foreground window pressing back button

returns to main page
9) Enter a valid local phone number and place call
10) Enter a valid long distance number and place call
11) Place call when phone has weak signal (1 bar)
12) Attempt to place a call with no signal
13) Place call with low battery
14) Place call when battery runs out

OTHER TEST CASES TO CONSIDER
1) Receiving calls
a) during another call
b) during an IM session
c) while authoring an SMS
d) while reading and e-mail
e) while playing a game
f) while listening to a song
e) while taking a picture
2) Sending and receiving short messages (SMS) with and without attachments
3) Mobile e-mail
4) Mobile Instant Messaging
5) Mobile internet
6) Bluetooth interface
7) Camera
8) Themes
9) Ringtones
10) Battery life
11) Signal strength
12) No-signal conditions

Test cases can get quite complex. For example consider the steps required to verify that a Mobile IM session re-establishes itself after receiving no signal and going back to a good signal area. And we've just scratched the surface! It would likely take an entire day to produce all of the test cases needed to fully test a cell phone!

hello,

thanks for the list; in my case, i was tasked to do many of these items under program remote control using AT modem commands on various OEM handsets at a major cellphone provider. in some cases this also involved electronic test equipment remote control. this can then be extended to various FCC / ISO standards level testing, calculating statistical variance within subsequent runs of your test session and identify at the outset, what stimulus caused what significant trends (both desired and undesired) at the outset?

however, not everything can be automated, you need to establish what is statistically most important and achievable by automation. Also, many such processes are very 'stateful' in nature, and lend themselves well to automation;

my two cents
