They should just have done a lottery for the first batch, everyone would have had the same chance, Look like **** up from RS so far


And as for farnell their staff must have them all because Joe Bloggs from the internet sure as hell didnt get to buy one
 
I personally believe this entire situation has been engineered by Communists to crash the internets and stop me ever buying cheap electronic products!. Damn those Communists!

Not really, it should be given to dev's first. If anything they shouldn't be putting it on general sale right now, there should be some sort of prove your worth scheme so the right people are developing for it first giving everyone a better experience when they do get there hands on one.

Nope but I can say that they should have thought about Amazon farm in the first instance, at least for the first couple of batches, and then move onto to RS / farnell -

RS looks like deliberately stonewalling everyone, it's nowhere on their site

'Thanks! Wish the rest of Twitter was as gracious; starting to feel a bit set-upon!'

This is the sort of tweet that gets my goat. They run about high and mighty with their 'oh we're so popular *blush*' but they can't seem to get it right and then start whinging.

I can only assume they made the lauch as 6AM so the commerical sites didn't hit major downtime in working hours? But damn, it's made people grumpy!

Farnell is up for me

Edit: Down again. I did get through to the order page though and they were selling it for £26 ex. VAT, so £31 with VAT!
 
If Farnell have sold out already, which i personally don't believe, then I can't see how any of them went to UK buyers. Its not possible to add to basket, the item doesn't appear - it says the product code is not found.
 
Farnell do appear to have sold out, I've managed to get through the full purchase process but it says stock available within 30 days.
