Chin up old chap, if it makes you feel any better, I've got a ten+ week wait!
Ordered on 26th May (although confirmed for 28th!!) delivery expected for 13th August.
But isn't it great that there's some excitement around it? 
I would dearly love the OS to be a little more customised than just being a linux distro, but that can come in the future.
As a platform, it's shockingly good. I'm really impressed as to what it can do right away!

Got my email from Farnell, my Pi was dispatched this morning.
Yipee

Mine was paid for last week with RS and was told that shipping would be in 3 weeks .
Anyone know what the root password is oh:
Thx

Same situation here - though I have got it in colour now - it defaults to NTSC over composite, and you probably need to change it to PAL.
You need to create/edit a config file:
From the prompt type
"sudo nano /boot/config.txt"
and add the line
sdtv_mode=2
Then ctrl X to exit and save, then reboot.

6 weeks is a lot less than the wait at farnell... where you order from?

I ordered mine the other day from Farnell, and received a confirmation pdf today by email.
Apparently I only ordered 1! and it's not coming til mid-August. That's far too long to wait to give to my bro for his birthday at the end of this month, so I'll be getting him something else (not to mention there's only one coming now so I want it
In the meantime, I think I need to try to sell a couple of 8bit machines so that my missus doesn't leave me. After the recent CD32 purchase (it's so lovely), I'll be dead meat if she gets wind of this.
Hey its tiny, just tell her its just a mutiport hub and all will be forgiven
indeed we may get that computer for the masses yet

Well, mine shipped today, which is earlier than the June 18th estimate they gave me...it's going to my old address, but what the hey, I can get it from the landlords.
Well, I took a look in the freezer and found that I have something far better ..... I have an Apple Pi
All joking aside, I still havn't even been able to place an order yet

Get ordering!
It's as easy as Pi!
Got mine today, in fact, I'm posting from it! I noticed shortly after the last time I posted in this thread that they had bumped up my ship date from mid July to June 5th.
Pretty neat little device, but something about the reply page really pegs the CPU meter. I think it's all the animated smilies to the right of the message box.
Should be fun to play with.
