I opened up a 64mb memory stick pro duo,sandisc,which came with my dad's k750...To my surprise i only found one very small component.Its smaller then half the size of the casing.This does not make sense at all,why make the casing so big when it can be small.here: i apologize for the bad picture quality. |

Nope empty plastic with a small chip.
Buuuuuuut I also opened a old P900 16Mb Pro duo card and it has a bigger chip.
SO I conclude that with technology, they decreased the size of the actuall chip but then kept the old housing so it could comply with the devices card slot, sort of like an adapter!
Ps all Nokio branded cards have Samsung chips!!

Here is a pic of a 512MB stick. Who uses a little 64mb anyways! From the looks it is exactly the size that needs a cover like that. And anybody cares to open up a 4gb or even 8gb stick.
Doubtful that such sticks have inside a chip just 'half the size'.

there are 2GB and 4GB M2 cards, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if the MSDP chips for 4GB cards are as small as the 64MB above.
I ain't opening my 2GB to find out.
