Memory Stick Micro(M2) for Sony Ericsson fones where to get original?

[praka123]

Hi,

I asked a dealer here for M2 card for my new K810i.he quoted Rs700/- for 2GB M2.now , I researched the price and it seems original sandisk/sony M2 2GB will cost around Rs 1200.

How can I make sure this is not fake?
OR..Is there any price drop for M2?

Isnt sandisk/sony the only manufacturers of M2 cards?

Good Question

Best bet is Sony World.
SanDisk Website.
Or hopefully Katmadude on TechEnclave.

Then comes any trusted mobile dealer like Subhiksha, i think so.

1200 for 2GB for M2 is great price.

The same for 2GB in Sony World Or Sandisk website shoots to 2.0-2.5k

[praka123]

2-2.5K wth? I thought original wont cost more than 1200-300 range

it is almost impossible to tell it is fake or not So,this 700rupees m2 may be fake these ppl are saying they getting M2's from gulf and are very confident in claiming it is original

yeah.I got a a/c with TE forums.will try there.

Original memory cards would come in a sealed package, would carry a bill and warranty. Duplicate cards would have neither of these and are suspiciously inexpensive.

Praka, seriously try the fake ones. They are cheap and do the work. Never had a problem wit em.

yeah, specially SanDisk products like Memory Sticks Pro Duo, Memory Stick Micro usually come with a 5 year warranty.
@Praka
I suppose Rs 1200 to 1500/- is an ideal cost for an original Memory Stick Micro.

Hey I remembered a sony or sandisk(dont remember which one) website where you type the serial number of the stick and they tell you if its original or not. It was around 2 years ago. I dont remember the website though...

And the fake ones work great, 2 GB is 1000 here in Chennai.

[praka123]

1000 for 2 GB is way too much and that too fake!

[dheeraj_kumar]

I dunno the latest prices... this was around 1 year back...

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Now prices should have come down for fakes.
Because a TAX for these flash chips was taken down.

4GB pen drivers since then sell at 700 Instead of 1800.

If you are not using them for PSP or similar gadget , but for mobiles you can take risk of using the fake oness , as sometimes it gives curroupt data error for some file but later starts wotking again . I dont think this is a big deal if you are storing mp3's on your phones mem card.

Orignal ones are real costly.
