  Given the high costs of many accessories, many exceeding cost of the R Pi itself, my employers sponsored 10-unit R Pi students have started using sub-assemblies removed from cheap cell handsets instead of buying R Pi accessories.
  
  They are using the cameras, displays and keyboards, so far. A new economy smartphone costs USD$35 and an economy feature phone costs around USD$15-20. They alos have bezeels and housings that add value to the extracted components.
  
  With duty and VAT effectively doubly Singapore prices, this method offers a viable, cost-effective souce of accessories.

  Where can one pre-order one of these cameras? I am in Canada.
  
  Thanks, Alex.

  It will be worth the wait ... I've ordered two! my original idea was to use the 'Pi in robotics, however my new focus (with two of 'em) is to set up a DMX over ethernet link for the lighting in new church hall. The hall was put out of action earlier this year due to flooding, so now is a good time to update the lighting system.

  Hi edrees
  
  Please accept our apologies for the delay. RS have been overwhelmed by orders in a magnitude that surprised everyone, including Raspberry Pi themselves. I know RS are building them as fast as possible and that sourcing components in the shortest possible lead-times isn't always an easy task and that we are keen to get a Pi in the hands of everyone that has ordered one as soon as possible.
  
  Best Regards
  
  Pete

  It's just a shame I can't get RS to supply me one of these.
  It's been on back order for so long and is now 8 weeks after the original estimated delivery date and now I've been told I have to wait another month!
  
  It'll be obsolescent when I get one.
