I feel your pain too. The whole Irish launch has been a bit of a fiasco.
Anyway, have you considered getting it sim free and unbranded from some of the online retailers? Before you say it is more expensive, it isn't really. Just compare the cost of your current tariff with the equivalent sim only bill pay tariff and multiply that by the duration of your contract and add the cost of the phone on top of that and you will find that you are really paying for the phone in instalments over the duration of the contract. Plus you end up with a phone full of VF branding, more bugs, only available in black. Also, sim only bill pay contract is only for 30 days so you can switch tariffs or providers anytime you want.
Best of all, you get your Lumia 920 now and in the colour of your choice.
Billpay is ludicrous, Prepay sound OK if you do not travel abroad much using alocal SIM.
It amazes me how the same phone is € 585 SIM free in The Netherlands in any color there is.. Must be Nokia IE is not that interested in actually selling these phones. I guess I'm lucky to be in The Netherlands in a few weeks then.

It's the networks who pick the colours so you need to get on to them about that. I am already blue in the face telling Vf and O2 Irl.
