HTC One X with AT&T {giveaway}
Posted on Sep 7, 2012 in give aways | 93 comments
Hey everyone!! I am so excited about this giveaway for you guys and wanted to be able to tell you a little bit about the HTC One X from AT&T before I posted the giveaway (although this is not the FULL review – I am waiting until the month is up for that).
So quick story – AT&T contacted me and offered to give me the HTC One X device to review and also give one away to my readers. It is part of their “It’s what you do with what we do” campaign – LOVE. They also gave me a gift card to get a fitness related device and I am so excited I finally got a Polar heart rate monitor (more on that later).
Favorite first impressions of the HTC One X :
- It is light – I seriously was amazed at how little is weighs compared to phones I have had in the past.
- The display for everything is really, really impressive.
- It has every app imaginable [at least everyone I have wanted], MyFitnessPal, Pinterest, Pandora, Instagram, FB, Twitter, GChat [LOVE], etc.
- The sounds is amazing due to the fact that it has Beats Audio.
- It has seven different screens where you can customize the different apps and widgets and it is extremely user friendly to do this.
- It is a little larger than I am used to but I think it wouldn’t bother me for that long.
- So far I haven’t noticed any service problems – which I know has been an issue with AT&T for some of my friends in the past.
Now…favorite things about how I’ve been using the HTC One X for the last week or so:
- I think that pretty much all the apps on it are better than my phone – seriously. I like the layout of the apps better and they seem to be better integrated.
- I LOVE watching HBO Go on the display – it is so clear and because the phone is 4G I haven’t had any buffer problems yet. Makes the cardio time go by quick
) - I didn’t think I would notice a difference with the Beats Audio – just because I’m not that big into super cool headphones or anything – but I swear the sound is richer.
- The camera is really awesome and also has built-in filters which is nice.
- The speed on the internet is faster than my computer. I was shocked at how good it was because I thought my phone/computer were good. Nope. It kicks their butt.
- One thing that I think is a negative is I wouldn’t be able to use it at the gym while lifting because it is too big to go on my arm [I'm also mini] so that is kind of a bummer.
Here is a screen shot but it doesn’t do it justice because I’m taking it with another camera obviously.
And finally for the giveaway!!
One reader will win a brand new (literally still sitting in the box) HTC One X ($500 value) from AT&T. Please be aware that service is not included.
Here are the rules and ways to enter:
- This is open to U.S. Residents only [I know I'm sorry
] I am double checking on this and waiting on a response. - You can enter once a week until September 30th (that is five times) by posting a comment under this post about how you use technology to stay fit. If you enter multiple times please try to find your original comment and just comment under that so I can see all of your entries at once.
- You can get up to three extra entries a week by sharing this link on Twitter but you must use the hashtag #ItsWhatYouDo and include my handle and AT&T [so that I can count them - you do not have to leave a comment here when you do this], so something like: Giveaway from @ATT and @monika_fit #ItsWhatYouDo http://bit.ly/Uy4pGA
On another note I have a goal to reach 10000 “Likes” on FB so if you love this blog please, please share it with other people you think would enjoy it.
Disclosure: AT&T gave me the HTC One X device and a gift card to participate in the review and campaign.

If I win I will def be using this phone to take pics and for some apps such as pandora, Facebook, pinterest, instagram, my fitness, google reader, email etc etc! Looks like a nice phone!
I will use it to look at your blog haha!
I use my phone primarily for my business, so I could use it to schedule clients and contact them. Unfortunately my poor iphone is about to die
so this giveaway is just in time! Also the basic internet, facebook, myfitnesspal, etc
Oh MAN – this phone looks SWEET (and I desperately need a new phone, but it is not in my budget)!! I would totally use this for tracking calories – that’s on my goal list – I need something handy to track calories no matter where I’m at – this holds me a heck of a lot more accountable
My Ipod died today
So…I could also use this phone for my music while working out and especially RUNNING!
I’ve begun training for my first half marathon! I can use this to track my mileage (and as a GPS)! YES
I could use this phone to DOWNLOAD fitness journals and books (Fitness Tracker) to read and log while I’m on the road
I could use this for my newest addiction -
iMapMyFITNESS+ – OMG…what an AWESOME APP
Technology monitors my heart-rate to make sure I stay right in my fat burning zone!
Since my current phone is a piece of junk and not a smart phone – the HTC One X would allow me to use apps to track my progress in the gym!
The HTC One X would be awesome to use for apps – maybe even the Bodybuilding.com one so I could do round 2 of the LiveFit trainer without looking like a dork with my printouts!
I use times apps on my phone for intervals.
This is the phone that I desperateley want!!! I use my current phone and would use this phone to check my fitness plan and stay on regiment. I also track calories and stay healthy. I have a family that has a lot of health problems so staying fit for me is a MUST! I use apps like 90 droid extreme fitness and instand heart rate & fitness buddy! I would feel sooo overwhelmed if I win this, God knows I need it! Thanks and God bless you
Wow, how cool! I like to track my food online at livestrong.com
I would use it for music!!
I could def use a new phone! I would love to have instantgram and a phone with a good camera to take pics at the gym!
I would download workout apps like bodybuilding.com
I use the My Fitness Pal app on my phone! It makes tracking my food so easy. I don’t have to wait until I am by my computer, I can just get my phone out and quickly enter information.
I use technology to stay fit by bringing my phone with me and listenin to music while working out to keep myself motivated and going.
This phone looks so awesome! I have an HTC but it’s pretty old, and I am in dire need of an upgrade!
I definitely use technology to stay fit. One of my favorite apps that I have used almost every day for the past year is myfitnesspal to keep track of my calories in and out. It has helped me to lost 17 pounds so far!
I use the Bodymedia to keep track of calories burned vs. calories eaten.
And I could use this so bad. I just broke my phone & am using a really old one in it’s place til I can get a new one.
I use technology to get fit in multiple different ways. I am not currently fit but the past couple months I have turned a new leaf and want to get into shape, healthy and fit. I use different apps on my phone to track foods I eat, weight lost, calories and get motivation from others on those apps (example of apps are Endomondo). There are other ways but I would like to enter each week and need original content lol.
How do I use technology to stay fit:
Well I usually look up exercises I can do, watch videos of what others do, google whats a good exercise to trigger a certain area. stuff like that
What I do is look up yoga poses to do, I look for stretches and exercises to trigger certain areas, and keep a track on my workouts and what not.
I use a fitbit to track my exercise
I use the fitbit to log my food calories in and calories burned
Fitbits keep me motivated by tracking everything so easy to use
I use a motoACTV and I love it
I use my motoACTV to track my progress and see if I am getting faster over time.
I listen to great music on my motoACTV to keep me motivated
I use my phone to track my distance!
WOW! This phone sounds great, I have an HTC as well, but it’s TWO years old and the screen is completely shattered due to ONE drop…
But it still works ok, except for the fact that the storage dosen’t work! I use to use my phone all the time for the interval timer so I could do Tabata and HIIT workouts, but it’s just too much for the poor thing!

I use calorie counting websites to help me tally my calories and I use my ipod to keep my motivated while I workout on the machines at the gym
I use my ipod to keep me motivated with great pumpin’ music
I set a reminder on my phone to buzz when it is time to go to bed. Lots of rest makes you healthy and strong. Also cuts down on my late night binges.
I google poses and exercises and keep track of my weight loss or gain and food and calorie counts, also to listen to music when I workout
I track everything from what I eat, to my weight, in the morning and afternoon, how much I’ve exercised, the result, and stuff like that, what I can do to keep going and look at my progress
I use a fitbit to help track my exercise
I track my sleep and food using my fitbit
I use a calorie tracker app on my phone to keep my daily calorie intake in check
Staying fit requires motivation, and nothing works better to get me going than working out to one of my Pandora stations. Haven’t really found any recipe/food monitoring apps that I like, but might give that a try too.
I use a heart rate monitor and MFP app on my mobile phone to help keep on track. Hope I win!

Cool giveaway Monika! I use the Polar FT60 when I work out – it motivates me to see the numbers (calories burned, heart rate, etc.)
If I win the HTC, I’ll add Runkeeper app because I want t tray for a 5K.
I use the calorie and heart rate monitor on the treadmill I use in the gym
I use my ipod to pump me with great music while exercising at the gym
I use a calorie counter app on my phone to try to monitor my food intake. Boy fast food will certainly use up all your calories for the day.
I would use it to listen to music, read books, visit websites while working out at the gym!

I use technology for pictures to track my progress through photos, mainly my phone. I also use it to watch new work outs so my body doesn’t get use to the same thing over and over. I can’t afford classes or DVDs so I rely heavily on the internet for that help, blogs youtube etc.

I use my phone to keep track of my runs. I use the Nike + app, which tracks the distance, speed, and how many calories I burn. It is very useful!

Can i just say how awesome this contest is?!
I’ve been stuck with the same phone for years that i can’t even download apps on and has absolutely nothing i can use to stay in shape. If i had a phone like the HTC One X i would definitely use it to be able to download apps (they have really cool ones) that you can check calories for food, keep a food journal, i think there’s even one that tracks how much you exercise! I’d be able to go online and look up all the questions i have about diets and exercise (trust me i have a lot) and I would also be able to download music on it too, so i can listen while exercising because i have water damage and my sound stopped working. I would love to win this phone! Best of luck to everyone (:
I would love to use this to keep track of exercises. I’ve seen apps that will track your progress with GPS and stuff and it just blows me away. Would be amazing!

I also just thought of another app that is doing well on the iphone but will soon be available for phones like the HTC – it’s called Lift and it helps you track and keep on top of habits you want to implement both general self-improvement as well as working out and diet – so look out for that if people are interested!
I use technology to get fit by listening to music with my phone during my workout! I also keep track of my food on my myfitnesspal app on my phone. I also use instagram for workout ideas and motivation! LOVE technology + fitness!!!!!
