Also wondering.

Have been emailed 3 times now. All the same 'interest' mail.

Can't wait grrr.
 
Oh and btw, which ethernet port is the magnetic one? The one with the silver contacts? Viewing from mobile here.

Nope, the other one. It is not actually magnetic per se, just got some extra electronics (transformers) embedded into the port.
 
This article mostly transcribes the posting on the Rpi site. Last time I bought from them the shipping was R29 or R39 - and they had/have? a promotion where shipping was free when you order online.

Beste klant,
Hartelijk dank voor uw inschrijving en uw interesse in het Raspberry Pi B-board van RS Components.
De vraag naar dit product is buitengewoon hoog. Om zo veel mogelijk mensen de kans te geven een Raspberry te kopen, zal u er slechts één exemplaar van kunnen bestellen. Zodra de eerste boards op voorraad zijn, zullen ze verdeeld worden onder de eerste geregistreerden. Hoe eerder u uw gegevens heeft doorgegeven, hoe eerder u de kans krijgt een Raspberry te bestellen. Wij verwachten u binnen 7 dagen meer informatie te kunnen sturen.

Wij bedanken u voor uw geduld en begrip en nemen zo snel mogelijk contact met u op.

Met vriendelijke groet, RS Components

Still a good price, all things considered. What I don't quite get yet is how this is going to come packaged - clothed in a nice plastic cover, or a bare motherboard? Also, any idea what accessories will be available?

By the time I get 'mine', they'll be sold with an optional case. Till then, I'd hazard a guess of the board being sold bare in a box. Does not matter that much.
What accessories would you be interested in?

A guy did design a plastic cover, it will definitely be available at some stage.

Accessories that I've seen include a power cable (in short a cellphone charger), SD cards, etc.
eg. Memory Card, Power Supply, Cables, Keyboard, Mouse etc.

Ja, but this thing is small enough for you to mount anywhere in a box (ice cream box) or even behind your monitor/LCD TV.
