The files are not jpegs. Mostly .amr (Nokia sound) files, but some
other types as well. Windows has quite a few apps that can show and
copy deleted files, does Debian not have such a program? Can one
browse deleted files from the CLI?

Thanks, Tzafrir. I'm not having much luck with these, as they only
find files of types familiar to them. The files that I'm seeking are
.amr files (nokia sound files), and there do not seem to be any
'recipies' for them. I wonder how the Windows tools work, as they
allow one to browse the filesystem as a regular gui file manager, but
they show deleted files as well. They are so efficient that it
sometimes is a pain to browse directories with so many files!

I would try out dd_rescue first. Read the device (SD card) with
dd_rescue and make an image of it. Then try mounting it and see if the
files are viewable. If not, then you can try out foremost , scalpel or
other similar data recovery tools.

aptitude show ddrescue

Hey,
  It may be overkill, but the sleuthkit/autopsy combination can usually
recover just about anything.

Thanks, Ivan. As I suspect that the partition table is where the
problem is, this might work. I am googling usage examples now.
