The yellow Lumia 1020 has appeared on Vodafone Irelands website, this will be a nice addition rather than having the same black colour across all networks.
We will update as we get a reply from Vodafone to see if all is in order.
UPDATE.
Vodafone have said this, do you know or heard of anyone getting a yellow 1020 from Vodafone ireland? If so let us know.
Lumia 1020 Vodafone Yellow.
Dublin’s free quality commuter newspaper Metro Herald, has had the nokia lumia 1020 reviewed by journalist Joanne Ahern.
Joanne gives a great review and again like others highlights the lack of apps,the mainstream apps are there but its localised apps that’s the problem here in ireland such as banking apps for example.
Hopefully this will change with the recent news that nokia lumia sales continue to rise which is a promising sign and will hopefully encourage ,devs and also media groups here in ireland will give us WindowsPhone apps which generally seem to land only on ios and android.
Over to joannes review!
Just to note the 1020 is now also on emobile,meteor, and vodafone,and today 3 ireland announced the launch of the device.

In 2014, it is estimated that smartphone photographers will take nearly one trillion photos – that’s hundreds of thousands a minute (three thousand by the time you read this sentence), capturing in an instant the poignant, funny, dramatic, hilarious, strange and memorable moments that otherwise would have been lost forever.
In recognition of the evolving digital photography revolution, Nokia calls on photographers everywhere to grab their smartphones and celebrate with us on October 20 as we mark the first International Mobile Photography Day, a day dedicated to capturing all those once-in-a-lifetime, unexpected moments. Moments immediately immortalized and shared because now, people have the convenience of having a camera on hand, always, thanks to mobile phones. To mark the occasion, we secured some people whose very livelihood depends on almost instinctively capturing unexpected moments on film: staff photographers from the Associated Press.
We provided AP photojournalists around the globe with our Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone and asked them to contribute to our “mobile photo documentary,” a series of photos from people all around the world depicting the most brilliant examples of life’s unexpected moments. The best-of-the-best photos will then be turned into a compelling “Life Unexpected” video.
“People today are documenting life around them in an entirely new way,” said Juha Alakarhu, head of imaging technologies at Nokia.
“They’re no longer just taking posed pictures of family and friends, but capturing memories and stories through the magic of photos or videos. Photography has become a natural part of our daily lives!
“That wasn’t possible until camera phones essentially put a professional grade camera in everyone’s pocket.” Alakarhu believes the Nokia Lumia 1020 – with a 41 MP sensor, Carl Zeiss lenses, PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilization and super high-res zoom – makes it the perfect choice for photos that have to be right the first time.
If you would like to join in the celebration and contribute your own “Life Unexpected” photo, share a memorable photo taken with the Lumia 1020 – or any smartphone – this Sunday (October 20), and then simply tweet or post your photo using #1020MobilePhotoDay. Your tagged image will then be considered for inclusion in the “Life Unexpected” video, along with some of the most renowned photographers in the world. (The video will be released on Monday, October 21.)
So, go ahead, snap a photo on October 20, the International Mobile Photography Day, and share your moment with the world.
Get snapping folks.

The tech editor of the irish indo has another say on the 1020,although at this stage his thoughts and impressions on nokia and windows are well known here is what adrian says this time,he crowns the SONY Z1 as the best!
But are megapixels really the measure of quality? And how do the top models compare?
nokia lumia 1020
If megapixels are a metric by which to measure the prowess of cameraphones, Nokia’s 41-megapixel Lumia would appear to have the game wrapped up.
However it’s not quite so straightforward.
Megapixels achieve one main goal: detail. Thus, photographs taken on the 4.5-inch Lumia 1020 (in Procam mode only) reveal an extraordinary degree of detail when the photo is blown up. By this measure, and by the generous 32GB of onboard storage, the 1020 blows the competition away.
But there is more to a (non-blown-up) photo than simply detail and, here, I found that the 1020 performed more closely in line with its rivals.
The mega-megapixel shots typically measure over 10 megabytes per photo, meaning that only lower-resolution backup shots are really suitable for sharing online.
The camera is also a little slow, being slight-underpowered by its dual-core chip. Still, having an external camera button is good, even if it defaults to the lower-resolution format.
