Availiable in Portugal

Hi everybody,

I was very exited on Tuesday afternoon, because of the announcement on Raspberrypi.org, but Wednesday morning the excitement was over. I couldn't get any Raspberry Pi.

Also very interested on this incredible machine, so count me in for the order, please.

Best regards

Hi all,

Another one "tuga" interested in this project.

Regards to you all,

Gustavo

I don't know Ricardo, i go directly to Lenave.

Lucky you Carlos,

For me is a little bit difficult to go directly to Lenave office.

I live in Madeira Island

Hello!

Im interested on RASPBERRY PI too!

But seems we (Portuguese/people living here) dont have an easy expedition!

Sent a email to Lenave, hope them can save me

Any lucky around??

Farewell

Hi Luís

No luck here! The first batch is sold out ! And people that managed to pre-order are getting estimates, from Farnell, to delivery in mid of May. So I think the rest of us will have to wait at least 3 to 4 months to receive one.

I hope that Farnell at end will do a dedicated website to sell Raspi's without the limitations they have for now, for many local sites, for ordering products from them:

- Sell only to companies

- 30 euros minimum orders

- 15 euros shipping cost (this value I get to simulating a order of another item at Farnel site)

Hi all, sorry for the long wait - I am still working on tracking down an answer - stay tuned!

Thanks!

Hi Nicole,

No problem with wait.

I'm sure that Farnel team have more important issues to manage right now, after the "storm" they had on February 29.

I just hope that PremierFarnell manage to arrange a simpler and cheaper way to sell the Raspi outside UK

I'll be waiting for good news

Thanks for your attention

If my information is correct, then Farnell in principal refuses to sell to individuals in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden, and there are restrictions in Belgium and the Netherlands.

I know that Farnell in Germany has for ages received requests to reconsider this business-only policy, but doesn't care less. It would be nice if they finally reconsider instead of using their standard excuses.

Hi all, Tugas in particular!

I've Read Farnell's information about sales to Portugal, the restrictions do not aplly for those who work on their own company.

My idea with the Rasperberry Pi is to use it as a portable system, that can be used at collage, and so on. Also I do plan to test it running Emergency Managment Software, as a proof-of-concept, that portable low power systems can run the software and be used in real resque operations.

I'm using the HawkBoard, the Beagle Boardxm and the BeagleBone, but they are expensive for some projects, so they cant be used that frequently.

Lets wait and see for some news from Farnell.

Best regards,

António
