I've been reading all the posts in this thread since I received my Mogul a few days ago.
I noticed a few things while browsing through Ebay (UK site) today.
1) One seller has cards that do not even say HC on them.
2) Another seller has cards which do say HC and includes the aforementioned micromate reader.
3) Both of these cards have a play button instead of the class rating.
Not sure if this supports the theory that a) SanDisk put out different looking cards (perhaps for the European market) or b) there are already poor fakes out on the market.
the pix with the no SDHC looks like a photoshop erase to me
The word is in, these cards are indeed AUTHENTIC Sandisk Product, I have talked today to level 3 Sandisk technical engineer, sent the macros taken by convergent to Sandisk, and they are authentic cards. Convergent should be getting a CC from Sandisk, to confirm this, and post it on the forum, and I want to thank all customers out there with positive comments and support, and the customers with compatible devices for their time, and postings and help, and want to again reiterate that Nextweb does NEVER deal with fake memory cards. We will be offering a discount on all these cards that will be available on Amazon starting hopefully tonight and will last throughout the weekend or longer. We ASK all customers to double check compatibility with devices before purchasing, making sure they have newest firmware on devices, and keep in mind that some device manufacturer represantatives dont have ALL the correct answers, if in doubt you can alwasy post on this forum as there seem to be many knowledgable people on here happy to help.
Sincerely
Nextweb
I would just like to backup what Mike said here. I did receive a copy of email dialog from Sandisk confirming the authenticity of the card that I received from Nextweb. So if the card received matches the pictures I posted, then you should be good. Mike called me several times yesterday to keep me updated on the progress of the situation.
Have any of you with the 4GB cards been able to use activesync to sync your mp3 files? I cannot get this to work on my laptop (Dell M90) with Vista Ultimate. I can only get a BT sync and cannot establish a USB sync. Under the BT sync Windows Media Player will not see my storage card/6800 to sync music. This allworked fine with my 6600 via USB.
I bought the ($99) Veizon card just to be able to do this.
That's good news. I originally ordered a card that was DOA and I got a refund. Kudos to Nextweb. Since all this has been sorted out I will definitely order a replacement.

I just wanted to say that either someone hacked my account or an admin changed my thread title to say "fake". When i originally said " Not a fake"
I changed it as soon as i noticed it, and changed it to read "not sure if its a fake", and then after reading through this thread i changed it to "likely not a fake". Now Im ready to change it to " definitely not a fake", thanks for the stand up accountability.
Loving my 4gb card.
Now i wish someone would make a vid program that would take advantage of the ati video hardware and give me a better reason to want more storage.
