Just found out the 16GB Micro-SDHC card in my mobile phone look likely
to be defective after only 3 months of use.

Any recommendations for decent free software (windows or "live" disk)
that could give me some idea how bad the damage (data wise) is?

While the valuable data (already backed-up) on the card appears to be
still mostly readable (using the phone as a card reader) other data
(mainly phone settings and application data) seems to be boned. I want
to see what is likely to be damaged and what isnt.

Can you use chkdsk?
Seems to work on older cards. Not sure what happens if your
card has any built-in wear leveling.
