So I'm considering to buy Sandisk Micro M2 4GB memory card for my Sony Ericsson G900 (Symbian UIQv3), and they will deliver it when I order it.

I do have a right to open and check with my phone, to see if I like it.

I want to verify if it's a real memory card, but how can I do that?

Thank you. Regard.

an original memory card is very fast compared to a fake one.
data is easily corrupted on a fake card.......
also, the fake card is of cheap quality, the edges will come off easily, you feel that the card will break anytime.....

also, once filled with data, the fake card takes a lot of time to boot up.... while an original card will boot up quickly.....

do not go no the packaging, sometimes the fake packaging is so kool, u'll believe its real
a fake never comes with warranty or guaranty.
a real one comes with them.....

also fake is lot cheaper than original


hope all this helps!

How do you check if the file is corrupted on memory card? I'm using Sony Ericsson G900, and possible it's similar with sony ericsson's dumbphone too.

a file is corrupted.....
when suddenly the music you downloaded into your phone makes screeching noises or wont play at all
or photo's and videos just disappear
or they cannot be viewed at all

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!!!!

also, as i said, warranty/guarantee and also build quality

i suggest, you first check the transfer rates of a real m2 card in your phone before buying another one... maybe a friends m2??
also not the build quality.....

Also, make some random files, and put in in a winrar file that will only just fit on the memory card. Copy the file to the memory stick, and then copy it back to your computer and unrar it and the original one. If the one from the memory stick gives an error, most likely you got a fake one

Hi aqua, nope that's normal, there's usually a part of the memory card that's preallocated to system files after formatting. 1.8gb out of the nominal 2gb is normal.

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