Register Your Interest

I "Registered My Interest" for Model B with my name and phone number etc... is this how you pre-order it? I didnt get an email or anything. Im finding it very difficult to find out how to preorder from Canada. Also it was difficult to find out how to post on this forum.

Hi - I don't believe it is the same as ordering. This is the product page on Newark Canada:

http://canada.newark.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/dp/83T1943

UPDATE: I just found this explanation http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-43262/l/frequently-asked-questions-about-raspberry-pi
Stocks from Raspberry Pi of the initial production quantity are limited and these have already sold out. For those of you who have already pre-ordered, you should have received a confirmation email. We will let you know in the next few days when you can expect your delivery. We’re working very closely with Raspberry Pi to ensure we can meet the demand as soon as possible. We will be one of the first to have Raspberry Pi’s in stock and delivered to you, so if you haven’t been able to pre-order, register your interest so we can let you know as soon as you can order again and keep you updated with the latest on availability.

I hear you.

After being online at 1am (EST) to order one and failing miserably, I've been resigned to the fact that until you can actually go online and pre-order parts that are on back order, I won't get one. Its like trying to get a Wii all over again. I think myself and many others are fine with waiting if they know at least that the order is placed and one will arrive 3-4 months down the road. I hope these guys open a '1 only' pre order page to allow those of us who just want to get one (not 10, 100, or more) to have a shot at it before the batch orders start rolling in.
