The IR Blaster is a very underrated feature, I use the one on my GS4 a lot especially now that local developers are making Remote Apps especially for GS4, Note 3 and One for the popular Multichoice Set-top-boxes we have here  These phones are going to make us super lazy.
I'm also impressed by the long range of the IR Blasters and how quick they are, last phone I had with IR was my Nokia N80 and its IR was slow and cumbersome to use, tried it once or twice and gave up.
IrDA ... man that is a technology that will NOT die! It's older than 5, 1/4" Floppy for crying out loud!
On that note ... I'm wondering how useful it is on your Multichoice Set-Top-Boxes ... especially those that have an internet connection. Should one's you have already be internet connected and the provider offering the service have an app that may serve you better for several reasons:
Setup reminders of programs prior to when they start,
Ability to have programs recorded again for later playback.
Ability to quickly opt in to new channels for content & possibly randomly opt-out (say 1 day in only, or 2 days, or 7days/2wks).
And of course changing volume, channels, etc.
(Then again the TV maybe at a different volume and not controlled directly by the set-top-box, and picture & sound quality or preset may also differ directly on your entertainment system and TV) hmmmm. I really have to think this when I get my issues resolved to setup a new place.

From August 1. 2009 on, Vodafone NL usually doesn't lock contract phones anymore, only prepaid.
With Vodafone-exclusive models as only exception, but I don't think your One is a Voda exclusive, so it might not be locked at all.
Branding will probably be a Vodafone startup screen and a few Voda apps?

Hans just try another sim if you have one see if it's locked. That's the norm here too most branding is start up screen and few usually deletable apps

There is no branding visible. Locked or not is no problem. I'm not changing provider anyway.

That's good tbh back in 2006 I took my O2 Samsung D600
To Germany I only sent a few texts which cost £2 which wasn't bad
I think it might be more for places like USA which I wanna go at some point
For a few weeks
