I put myself on a waiting list with RS the day the announcement came out.
I was unaware at that time that there was a US distributor, but it sounds
like I might have made the right choice by going with RS, pricewise. I
pretty much forgot about the whole thing until I got an email saying my
number was up, so I plonked my $40 or so down (not bad for international
shipping on a $35 board!).
I wasn't particularly impatient to get it, since I have a lot of irons in
the fire (hell, I haven't had time to do more than make sure it boots,
which it did). If I were really antsy about it, I guess I might be more
offended.

I'd love to know how you all are getting ahold of them. Just checked Newark and
RS/Allied:
Newark: Accepting orders > July 5
Allied: "Not available" (no further information) By the time Newark tacks on all their fees, that
"inexpensive" Raspberry Pi is no longer inexpensive by any definition. Until the
Raspberry Pi is available via another distributor, I will not buy one.
I got mine
from RS/Allied. Total cost with shipping was about $40.
