Raspberry Pi - Who's gonna have a dabble?

[tim2100]

Quite fancy one of these. Chuck it behind a TV to run all the online On-Demand stuff it should be ok.

Stock allocated, allegedly.

[onomatopoeia]

You actually got farnell's website to talk to you? Better than I've managed since 6.01 this morning.

Strangely export.farnell.com worked fine very briefly at 7am this morning and I managed to place an order, the UK site was still dead. I was expecting all stock to have gone by then, but I just got that email.

Just ordering one on the phone with Farnell.

No stock available at present, only taking back orders, unsure when stock is arriving.

Farnell's UK site seems to be working again now, I've just placed an order for one. The product page has no buy button, but you can click the quantity box and press enter to submit the form

Raspberry Pi Ebay Seller said:

Please note: This is a pre-order listing, and not stock from the original 10K production run. It is intended for people who do not wish to deal directly with Farnell and delivery may therefore be delayed a few weeks.

So not really a scam as they have said they don't have one.

He is charging £999 and still wants £3.50 P&P.

No....read the listing...someone has offered to pre-order one for you for a mere £999.

In other news, an @Raspberry_Pi tweet said that RS would be replying to those who expressed an interest later in the week, but it isn't clear if they will actually be distributing any of the original 10000 - did anybody manage to get an order fulfilled through RS this morning?

I've registered my interest with RS - the farnell site is still dead as a dodo

[annodomini2]

RS aren't taking orders till Monday 5th March and then I think those who have registered get first dibs.

Noticed that.

Shame someone like Maplin dont take a few and sell them in the shops.

[Marf]

If you call Farnell sales you can pre-order over the phone.

[nosuchuser]

Just spoken to Farnell. Allegedly looking to ship back orders end of April...

[Marf]

Interesting, they wouldnt give me a date.

[MagicalTrevor]

Phoned Farnell but their automated line says that they don't have stock so check the website. I didn't hang around to hear the same from their people.

Managed to order one on the website though so that's fine. Incidentally, I used the mobile site.
