I had problems with fake sony m2 once. When using my old K800 it happened several times the data to get corrupted by itself and also some pictures taken with the camera couldn't be completely removed from the phone when transfering to pc for e.g. which resulted in messy photos in the future. It may happen also songs to be skipping during playback if they are stored on a fake m2 card.

I bought a Sony M2 4GB for the G900. The package says it was preloaded with 007 Quantum of Solace contents. But i never got to see them because the girl who sold the card formatted it from the G900 before i can say NO!!

i feel the need to speak up...

an original memory card is very fast compared to a fake one
in my experiences, not true.

data is easily corrupted on a fake card.......
again, im my experiences, i have never ever had this type of a problem.

also, the fake card is of cheap quality, the edges will come off easily, you feel that the card will break anytime.....
makes me think that indian fake stuff is really horrible, the fake stuff coming out of china, or at least the stuff that i have seen first hand is far from cheap or flimsy...

also, once filled with data, the fake card takes a lot of time to boot up....while an original card will boot up quickly.....
again i have found this to be not true. on my PSP i used an original 1GB Pro Dou, it was a driving game, for some reason it would get serious lag on some fast spots with alot of traffic. i tried a fake 2GB micro SD with a fake adapter, and no lag what so ever, it was ever so smoothe. so maybe you have had these sorts of problems, but i have never...

a fake never comes with warranty or guaranty.

depends where you buy them, in the past when i have bought them, there in the shop, they are more then willing to show the size and say if it wasnt true they would change them "no questions", i have never ever had a problem.

also fake is lot cheaper than original

not necessairly true, cheaper yes, "lots"... if its alot cheaper then the original than makes me think your getting shafted, but (again in my experiences) yes, the fake ones are cheaper, enough to make you think which ones to buy.

most important factor is price
here,in india an fake 2gb can be brought for as low as 8$!!!!!!!!
while in reality, it is definately 5times that!!!!

but thats not fair to say, most decent things of quality are expensive in india (or at least thats the way it was for those four months i was working in mumbai, locally made stuff was utter rubbish, anything imported was f''ing expensive)

Also a fake card might only have 25% of the total storage space really available, so a 8GB card becomes a 1.8GB card.

is this your experince or what you have heard? again, i have never found this to be true.

i do and have lived in souther china for more then a decade, fakes are more common then people think.

again, just my 2 cents...

thanks for the insight...
well, we all here just sharing our experiences.
small clarification for you, these goods arent made in india, they are smuggled in from china and singapore.
two, i have 2 m2 cards, of 2gb.
one fake, one original
the original one is, well original

and the fake one has the issues like i described out for you...
my friend had a 1gb fake and he didnt have any problem, apart from the cheap make...

if you compare the make-quality, you can discriminate the fake card,,,
also, the fake card HAS slower speed than original.
just that sometimes you may not get slower speeds from start... or the difference may not be noticable,,,

too good if you get a good fake card#
too bad if you get a bad dake card#
cheers!

Same is happening with me. I bought a 2GB M2 in $10 without warranty.

Thanks for replying!

I've bought a 8GB Sandisk M2 Micro, and it's all legal. I've filled it up to 1.8gb, nothing slow down, nothing corrupted and whatever like that. It's real.

And the price is half cheap than the average price.
