How many AVDs and real devices DID you test on? There is an embarrassing proliferation of real devices out there, few developers can keep enough of htese around for realistic testing. This is why DeviceAnywhere has a successful business model.
Mark is quite right: no one should rely on code using 'sdcard' hard- coded anymore. Use the official API for getting the directory instead. It is not that much moreeffort, and it guarantees you will get the right behavior even on weird phones with TWO sdcards. It is a very simple measure to "future proof" your application.
