How about posting confirmation numbers when people receive their R-Pi's. That should give us some idea of expected delivery time.
Example: My Conf # is 191353. I saw a post that 160xxx has received his. That gives me about 31K to go.

Well my order number is 164633?? and the last update I had on the 4th May was August!
My order was placed via CPC on 29th Feb about 11.15am in the UK.
Zoltan,
That is what I was told by both Liz (Raspberry Pi foundation) and Jenny. http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/confused-about-CPC-orders?value=14109&type=9&include=1&search=1&ret=all
I've seen forum posts with people having a later order# than mine receiving theirs. Unfortunately trying to get hold of anyone at Farnell who knows what is going on seems impossible. CPC certainly arn't interested.
I suspect the later orders that are being processed are those from the registration of interest on day 1 and it is only later they are invited to make the actual order.
There does seem to be a difference depending on which part of the Farnell group the order was placed through.

I ordered mine on the 3rd of March order number 165XXX...no emails, no dates, states 'Back Order' all the time...hard to take it all seriously...
Same here. Ordered Mar 9. Still shows B/O w/ Aug 16th. No e-mails received. Located in Los Angeles. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have another non-fat passion fruit grossly grande Americano frappe hold the coffee & passion fruit (lettuce-wrapped), put my feet up and skip some iStones along the beach.
Ordered mine on Feb 29 around 10 or 11 from newark in US and haven't gotten mine yet.

It's just a waiting game.
I ordered couple hours after launch on Feb/29 from element14 (Malaysia) and got order confirmation 14401***
Received my Pi on May/7
Ordered 29/02/2012 08:25 GMT from Germany.
Got "Great News" mail on 17/04/2012 stating "week commencing 21/05/2012".
No sign of delivery in order details on website, so yesterday night I asked for an update via "online chat".
Today I got a mail saying delivery is around week 38.
What is going on?
I know this will probably annoy a few people, but we need to be mindful it's a fairly inexpensive "toy" we're all clamoring for.
It's not exactly a high profit item, so I'm appreciative that Element 14/Newark/The RPI team/et al. are working so hard to get everyone their board. I want mine as badly as everyone else probably does, but I'm doing my best to keep things in perspective. If we're too much of a pain to the suppliers, do you think they're going to likely to support something like this in the future?

Hi Zoltan,
According to my diary week 38 is w/c Monday 17th September, which doesn't sound right at all.
Perhaps it might be worth a telephone call to your local sales office, to see just exactly what is actually going on?
I haven't been following deliveries by country, but have you heard of anyone else in Germany who has received a similar notification... or even confirmation of despatch?
(Edit: I can see what Steve is saying in the previous post, but that does seem to me to be an unreasonable time to wait, especially knowing what has already been despatched.)
