@dgilmartin: from what happened to me, I see the following indicators for my Sony 1GB MMS (let me use your phone to show you my symptoms):
RED- The sides are poorly sealed, as in a bit messy compared to what SONY would do to their products- neat and nice (SONY finishing).
GREEN- The circle (if you carefully notice on your cards) is harder to notice and it does not reflect light. I tried on my original 64mb k750i phone and it reflected a perfect round circle of light, and if you move it around a bit, you'll notice nothin else gets reflected but that circle.
BLUE- I notice my 1GB MMS has messy patterns on the golden reading part. The original one has a VERY smooth 'SONY finishing' surface.
NOT IN PICTURE- The front side the memory card is make up of a very thin, cheap feeling (well, it is cheap) plastic. Guess what, it started to break after 1 to 2 weeks after very little memory stick discarding/ inserting activity with my phone.

I must admit though that China did a good job (copying). We wouldn't be able to spot them unless we look very carefully.

does the fake thingy have sumthing to do with the memory capacity? i mean, my sandisk 256 can only handle 237mb of total memory..
Like computer drives they use a bit of capacity to run anyway.

The 1gb pro duo that I bought seems to be fake too. Thought only mmc/sd fakes were available. Got the duo for a good price but hope now that its going to last long.

I bought a 2GB stick from ebay. It appears to be fake as well.
It can only hold 1GB of memory and I cant acces the stick from the computer only from the phone.
