:-) I've never relied on Exception reporting out of the market. This comes from BugSense via ACRA.
They seem to be standard devices (eg SAMSUNG-SGH-I896, running 2.1- update1, other similar devices running Gingerbread) out in the marketplace for a while. It seems to be quite rare. out of 100k downloads I've only seen about a dozen instances in the last 6 months, but I've had 4 in the last week. I can't see anything else particularly special in the device info.
