Sony Ericsson has teamed up with box.net and will offer 50 GB free cloud storage if signing up before January next year

Box.net with 50 GB cloud storage for Xperia phones

Sony Ericsson has now confirmed that they will offer 50 GB cloud storage if you sign up with box.net using a Xperia smartphone. To take advantage of this offer, you will need to sign up at box.net using the box.net Android app and a Xperia device. Existing box.net users can also take advantage of the offer by signing in using a Xperia device. The 50 GB storage is not time limited and those who sign up will have such amount for life.

As we wrote earlier, owners of LG handset has received a similar offer. LG owners can wait a little longer before making a decision as they have until March 31 to claim the offer.

The free box.net offer from Sony Ericsson lacks advanced features such as video preview, password protected sharing and full-text search which you will find in a paid subscription. Normal pricing for box.net storage is 5 GB for free, $9.99 for 25 GB and $19.99 for 50 GB.

Direct your Xperia handset to the Market now for the free 50 GB cloud storage

Personally I don't have any use of this but I guess a lot of people out there have. Nice to offer it though!

agree... I'm yet to trust "the cloud" implicitly and prefer to keep control of my data and backups

still... its a selling point that will interest many I'm sure.

And I suppose that it will only work with 2011 Xperia phones? According the market, my X10 Mini Pro isn't compatible.

I think it works with Xperia 2011 devices plus the X10 from 2010. Sadly not for the X10 Minis

I signed up earlier on today and uploaded some photographs for posterity (of a recent addition to the family).

It's nice to have the option and it's free so why not and 50GB is very generous.

Same here... I don't currently even own an Xperia product so I downloaded the box app on my friends mini to pro to register and now use the account with my N8 at m.box.com which Im sure you can do with any device... well... I have the account but I wouldn't say Ive really been "using" it.... I figured I'd just sign up for one while they were offering it just in case I decide I need it later if I move to android.
