I stayed up until 1:30AM ET (6AM GMT) in the US trying in vain to get
one. I registered interest on the RS site but am not holding my
breath on this batch. I was hoping they would have done a little more
infrastructure work to decrease the odds of meltdowns on the sites.
That said, I'll be able to get one eventually and am very excited to
try it out. I am however exhausted this morning here in the US!
Please let us know what you think once you get yours!
Best,
Dylan

So who managed to get a Raspberry Pi today? Those that
pre-registered were emailed and told to look at the website at 6am
this morning.
Armed with tea I refreshed both myself and my browser until the
site kicked in on the dot of 6 and was told to order from Premier
Farnell or RS. Mad rush to Farnell, logged in with my account
details and bang, the site melted. Decided to try a phone order.
Phone sales kicked in at 8am. Managed to talk to someone at 8.08am
and in theory I have got one. I was told none are actually
shipping until after March 12th. They only arrived in the UK on
Monday and they'd need to test them.
It's great that they have a done a deal with major distributors to
manufacture and supply - they can match the huge demand and
manufacture accordingly. Shame it cannot be made in the UK.
Awesome little device. Hopefully it will change the world.
