When will I finally get the Raspberry Pi?

ryanteck

Well i'm starting to get confused,

 

I preordered the PI on the day and the emails sent out said I am expected to receive it in just over 1 week, (WC 23/4/12)

 

Currently the latest update was that the Pi has passed the EMC testing needed for Farnell & RS Components to be shipped out but there has still been no update on element14 or farnell.

 

I know it has been the bank holidays but when will it arrive? Or when will the new delivery date be?

 

Thanks - Ryan

  • Well it's funny. Because as a final costumer I don't care about testings or etc. The device was (so called) launched alot of time ago. And yet no one got their pis.

     

    I mean there are lots of people behind this project. Why no one thought about testings and etc. Why no one bothered to build the device in the first place. They launched a device which is not produced and tested. As we see the weeks passed they produced the device and testing it now.

     

    A man is judged by his words. If you're launching, you have to sell the actual device. You can't just do launching for a device which doesn't exist. I you don't have the device, launch the thing when it's finished. No one will try to hurt you because of that. image

     

    But this situation is not pleasant. And I do not think no one thinks about CE procedures and testings...

    Please try to remember that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a non-profit run by a handfull of people, mostly a couple -- regular people. They are not Dell. And as far as I know this is their first device/project of this sort. I'm sure they honestly thought, and were given assurances from their partners, that things would go smoothly and everyone would have their orders by now. They're doing their best, and better than I could do, so I'm not going to criticize.

    Its not them im critisising, if anything its farnell for saying they have to have an CE mark in place.

     

    And I agree with Enes, I don't care about testing. Half the electronics stuff I have is probberbly not CE marked from where the're china exports.

     

    The main thing im still wondering is that have farnell taken on the CE Marks yet? Farnell have still not posted anything about the Pi passing CE mark tests where as the RPI blog has.

     

    Are farnell just waiting for nothing?

    From what I have heard - both farnell and RS have to agree / sign off or somthing like that befoer shipping can start.
