bought a 128mb duo for my s700 and it didnt work from day one. tried putting it on a card reader on my pc that allowed me to save some stuff on it but it doesnt work on my phone. while trying to reformat it i got a msg that it was corrupt. is there any hope or should i just get another from a better source?

get a better source... you don't want things dying when you need it right? like when you need to make a call thing?.. don't want your memory card dying on you when you need to save on it.

I am a consultant to Sandisk and this is what i have been informed.
"SanDisk recently broke one major ring of counterfeit products in China
being sold on eBay. Today we believe up to 50% of products sold in the
"used" market to be counterfeit. We recommend only buying products from
authorized dealers. In Asia all products have a hologram on the retail
package and products that are bought without packaging or without a
hologram are suspect."

I bought my 1GB memory stick pro duo from ebay last june. I droped my phone a distance of about 6 inches last night and the phone stopped working.
I turned out that the memory stick casing split open and stoped working. The only way to get my phone to work was to remove the memory stick!

Hey guys, i want to buy a 2gb Mspd HS from Sony, and i tried to check the useful link that another forum memeber gave but it is not there anymore, does anyone have the new link or at least the specifications given there to know if what i'm gonna buy is a fake or not.
The seller told me that the real memory of the card was 1.89Gb and the package (in the pictures) has Japanese letters, the seller told it was made pon japan and it has the hologram.

Not sure if its already covered but have you seen the official Sony Memory Stick Data Rescue Service
http://www.sonydigital-link.c[....]nloads_ms.asp?l=en&f=MS_Rescue
It requires you to put in product information and serial number from the back of your official sony memory stick and then allows you to download the recovery tool if your card checks out. My guess is that if you can download the tool then your card is genuine.

Hi
You have all got me very worried as I have just purchased a new 2gb msx-m2gn from Ebay.
It was £32.00 delivered, sounded too cheap to me but gave it a go any way.
With regards to the Sony recovery software, I have just started to download it.
As using this to confirm the card as genuine I can not see this will help. Sony only asked for 1. card name, 2. card serial.
What is stopping them printing a guenuine serial onto the card?
I would think one possible check could be to compare the printed serials from a supplier to see if they are identical. How many different serials can the forgers have?
Must be like fake notes all printed with identical serials.
