    It will be quite a few weeks before anyone gets one and it is first come first served, so all those who have already registered interest on Farnell or RS will get offered them first in date order of registration.

    I have colleagues at work who have been contacted saying end of April beginning of May but that was before they discovered the problems with the network socket.

    I tried to order one mid morning on the day of release and my interest has been recorded but I've not been given a date yet.

    I'm not expecting one any time soon!

    When did you order?

    I tried to order at around 10:30 on the day of release and all I could do was register an interest.

    If you were one of the first to register with RS or Farnell, the first shipping is expected to start next friday (30th).. from farnell at least.

    If you havent, you need to join the back of a very long queue (circa 200,000) apparently.

    As far as I'm aware, no-one has a Raspberry Pi yet. The initial batch have just completed rework in China as a wrong network connector was fitted. Orders are being allocated delivery dates on a strictly first come, first served basis from the only two UK suppliers, RS and Farnell. I'm not even sure if they have their order books open at present - I think late-comers can only register to be notified when orders are accepted again.

    I ordered on 01 March and have a current delivery allocation of early May (I've had three dates so far).
