Who got one of the first 10,000

Sorry but not a user friendly topic since most of the threads these days are frustration related about not being able to order.

I was just wondering if anyone else actually got in on the first batch. Like you said, seems like a lot of order problems. So far I have not read one person saying they actually ordered one o the first 10,000.  I do not believe anything was wrong with my 1st post besides it is about a positive experience.

If you search the store for raspberry pi then all you can do is register your interest.  This is how I ordered.

1. Click store from the discussion page.

2.  On left side click semiconductor tools

3. In middle of page click   Mcu/mpu/dsc/dsp/fpga development kits.

4. Click primary boards

5.  Click primary platform.

6. Check Broadcom and the click show results

7.  Pace order and receive confirmation , no waiting to register or anything.

1.  When did you order?

2.   Have you received an order confirmation email from Newark with expected shipping date?

Yes I received email confirmation of Ship date march 13 and checkEd my purchase order which confirmed march 13.  I have since then called company on two occasions which both times march 13 was confirmed as ship date.   I placed my order the day of the release.

I am very happy for you to have successfully ordered.  As I've posted elsewhere on the forum, I was up at 1am eastern Canada time trying to order.  I spent an hour on the Farnell and RS sites, with either no access or eventually the register interest link. It wasn't until 10am that am (29 feb) that I found a link on the forum that talked about using the part number to order. That I did.  I got a 10 may ship date.

I hope you get it. I know that it's all about how many shipping legs there are. You being in the US will be about a week quicker than Canada because Farnell is doing a China->UK->US->Canada route.  More delays and more customs because Farnell/Newark are stage-shipping them.

Mine's shipping on may 15. I live in New York City. Oh well, I guess I didn't register early enough. :'(. At least I'll get it by the summer.

What country are you in and which company did you order from? For the first two hours after the launch I registered interest at both RS and Farnell in the UK (never got an e-mail from RS and Farnell auto-responded but that's all.) Only after reading a post somewhere explaining that in North America you have to use Newark was I actually able to place an order.

I don't think it's an unfair question either. Everyone who has followed the project at all knew there would be limited quantities and more than likely a feeding frenzy on launch day. Have fun experimenting!

I ordered mine yesterday and I was told the expected shipp date will be arpil 3rd.. Is this one of the first 10k to be shipped? Also do you think it will come without casing (I hope so I can see the silicon awesomeness)

Oh and I ordered it yet I got no email. I live in the USA so i had to order via newark.com. Its on my account history but no email. I hadn't registered with my interest yet but I think I will.

I orginally ordered and was told May 14th, but I then recieved an email stating I had a place saved in line for me, so I went to order again (thinking I could just cancel the original order) and in my shopping card I was told April 3rd, but when I confirmed my order it went back to May 14th. So now I have 2 orders of raspberry pi which I don't even know how is possible, and I only want one.
