Order through Newark (its Farnell in Northern America).
My delivery date keeps changing, got pushed back to 15th December 2012 then brought back forward to June.
I've ordered one from Element14 Singapore, but don't know when they gonna send it.
@Daniel how do you find the delivery date?
@nano login to their billing panel, it will say the date.
For me:
Expected Ship Date
03 Apr 2012
Gaaaah, it's the buyvm of hardware.
doesraspberrypihavestock.com anyone?
Line Status: PENDING
haha!
My billing date changed again, was pushed back to 2013 then brought to end of march.
Has anyone received their Pi? I got mine yesterday. Nice little device
US. It shipped from RS (in the UK) on Monday, I wasn't home on the first delivery attempt Wednesday, and ended up getting it yesterday. That's some fast shipping from the UK
Came via DHL.
My status is still "Back Order"
It would be interesting to have a Raspberry Pi server.
I'm waiting for it!!
Someone in raspberrypi.org commented that the RPi main processor is the speed of a Pentium 2 at 300 MHz
I wouldn't mind throwing a few in my cabinet now.
Have you ordered yet?
Quote from raspi:
It is actually slower than I expected, don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting high performance by any means, but I was thinking it would be a bit faster than it is. It took a while to compile ruby from source, the make part which give a time at the end reported 34 minutes, the whole process overall was closer to an hour though.
Nope, I had given up trying a while back when the servers were unstable and forgot all about it until now.
I see.. what about browsing the internet, office apps (?), and playing the HD video? Was it smooth?
from where can you order one? i can't.
Element14. I'm in Indonesia so redirected to sg.element14.com (Singapore)
Browsing the internet under the LXDE passable. From what I understand, the hardware GPU support is not implemented yet, so anything graphic intensive is laggy. I haven't installed any kind of office suite. When it boots, it boots to CLI, you have to invoke the desktop environment. Using just the CLI is quite snappy, and basic tasks and non graphic intensive apps in LXDE are okay. Currently I am trying to get nginx running, but am hitting errors.
Some people who signed up for "interest" in the Pi at RS got an email with a authorization code to order one. That's how I got mine.
ah i didn't.
I got mine thuesday from Newark Canada. Shipping was overnight. I'm impressed by the power of this 35$ machine. All we need is to get access to the GPU. By default the mirror on the debian image are for UK, so you will need to change them or you will get awfull speed. I was able to reach 5 MB/s with DD.

I agree
It's right now a nice $35 computer. Once the GPU is worked out it will be amazing.
pretty good actually for the money.
My expected ship date is August 16th.
seriously? imagine the demand the have.
Yes and I ordered it not too long ago, I'd imagine they have over 100,000 orders.
They are starting the mass production so i assume they will catch up quickly with the orders. Please do tell us when your expected ship date changes.
Good to hear they are kicking things in gear.
