Ppl no need to worry which brand to buy. Sandisk help Sony to build MS as well (read about the new MS Pro HG-Duo, co-developed by Sony and Sandisk).
In fact Sandisk is one of the creator of Memory flash.
Memory failure is very rare but it could happen to any brand. My friend Sony's genuine MS Duo is broken in just 2 weeks. My Sandisk (plain not the pro) is broken suddenly and yet the replacement sandisk gave me (still not the pro) survive the washing machine just fine.
The most important is to get the genuine memory and whichever the cheapest one. In fact in dSLR word two name is the front runner of memory flash, Sandisk and Lexar. My Sandisk Ultra CF and Lexar Pro CF has been with me for few years and never fail.

It's not the brand that people are questioning. Sony, Sandisk, Lexar all make perfectly good memory cards, but the issue is when a dodgy third world manufacturer copies one of these brands, ie: puts Sony logos over it to make it look like a sony when it is a cheap copy made from cheap components.
Cards form legitimate manufacturers other than sony are not fake. Fake cards are a copy of a legitimate brand name (usually Sony)

Well i can tell u this much.
when i bought the cell phone, the san disk memory of 512MB that came with the cell. constantly broke down and erased everything...
So no i have a 2gb sandisk memory stick pro duo...i bought it thru the internet and it has not failed once...so maybe it has something to do with the fact that the memories that came with these phones had issues from the beggining!

Well, ALL memory brands can be faked. Yes you are correct that Sony brand is a popular target for faking. Why? Because Sony price is ussually higher than equivalent from other brand. This make faking it bring more profit. But to say Sandisk is not a target of faking is also very wrong. Sandisk Ultra/Extreme has a lot of fake (well there is no Sandisk M2 Ultra/Extreme yet so less fake here). When I am buying a premium/pro level memory card, I always buy from authorised dealer. For generic Sandisk (plain) then I don't mind buying from parallel importir (black market).
However even fake memory card is ussually quite robust. Their shortcoming usually is slower, less capacity than stated. Especially fake memory that come from official OEM manufacturer (well this happen unfortunately).

I think you should demand a replacement for your 512MB memory. That is clear sign of broken memory and they should replace it with no question ask. It can be actually bad from shipping (especially if using air cargo because plane has lot of static electric).

I agree, in fact what I meant by quote "Cards from legitimate manufacturers other than sony are not fake. Fake cards are a copy of a legitimate brand name (usually Sony)" is that just because it doesn't have "Sony" on it, doesn't mean it's a fake. Some people have tried to tell me "non-sony" cards are "fake". I'm saying exactly what you said ie: Fake cards don't have their own brand, they are a copy of another brand. Notice I said "usually sony", I didn't mean "always" Sony.
