I am here. Now what do I click to order?
I've gone to newark.com and all I get is a round robin of links that lead here:
http://downloads.element14.com/raspberryPi2.html?isRedirect=true
There is no live page on newark.com to order this device.
I can only assume they're flat out of stock and that they'll have more in a month. Or two...

Newark Chat window:
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Newark'
Newark: hello how can i help
Me: Looking for Raspberry Pi order page.
Me: Got a link?
Newark: Hi...just use 83T1943 in the search bar
Me: That works. Any reason it's not visible from the search function other than by using that number?
Me: Thank you, but the way...
Newark: hmm didn't realize that was an issue...I will alert someone
Newark: you're very welcome
Me: It says 'Further stock expected to ship May 11, 2012' So -- it's not in stock?
Me: No image of it on the page either.
Newark: they are on backorder.....we had 2000 orders for it just yesterday
Me: Ack!
Me: So I can't order it now, right?
Newark: I can send you data on it
Newark: you have an email?
Newark: yes you can pre-order
Me: I'd rather wait until it's out I think. I'd better concentrate on other things if it's not going to be available until May.
Me: Anyway, thanks Newark. [greenman] out.
Hi greenman!
Stock from the Raspberry Pi of the initial production quantity were limited and have already sold out. If you'd like to make sure you're aware when we can begin accepting orders again you can register your interest and we'll keep you updated with the latest on availability.
In the meantime, we hope you have fun hanging out here in the Community with all of your fellow Raspberry Pi group members! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Take care and thanks for joining!
Nicole, element14 Community Manager
