Anyone know if\how to pre-order from the US?
It's very exciting! All around me I hear "Rapberry Pi". You know I bought one. :-) I can tell you, it's been a real experience and I'm glad to be a part of it.
Farnell Export have told me delivery is week commencing 16 April.
Hey. I called the number and he said I could order the same way (through SC) through a link that he was going to email me. But i have not recieved the email yet. Do you have the link?
SO I took the plunge and bought it.... 55$
I just pre-ordered mine through Newark about a half hour ago. Thanks for the link!

I guess I figured it out. Go to the normal site (like the link listed above) and when checking out hit "Ship Order Complete" on the "Backorder Preferences". That should negate the $20 fee.
I just pre-ordered mine from this website as well.

Actually I order 2 of them and the order did not stop me from placing the order. In addition, the email of the sent to me has NO Shipping cost or Handling cost or Taxes. It did mention the ship date as 30-March-2012. So I am not sure what other users are complaining about $20 S/H fee. Need to wait and see what they will charge me.
UPDATE: good news the $20 direct ship charge will be refunded: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-43273
I missed out by just a few - though would have been OK with the $20 shipping. Just glad that this isn't happening so now I will order an extra for my projects!
Go to Newark.com and search for part 83T1943.
