In a forum post, UK EA staff have announced that "as of 11:40am BST today [Friday], the expectation is that the demo will not be available today as it has yet to pass final stage testing".
He goes on to state that the demo will be for paid-up Complete members only, but corrects himself in a reply.
A further announcement on the exclusivity period is also given: "the full open-to-all release of the demo is expected next week. We do not have a fixed day for this release at this time". Remember that needing Complete or not won't affect that date.
UPDATE:
The demo has passed all test stages now and is currently in preparation to go live. I'll just fish up some links and work out the timings I've been given and edit this post accordingly, but I wanted to give you the news as soon as possible.
should be soon.

ATI Cards and Battlefield 2 Demo
In testing the demo, EA has encountered some visual issues on certain ATI cards with the previous Catalyst drivers (5.5) and are working with yesterday's 5.6 release to discover if the issue is resolved. If in playing the Battlefield 2 demo you encounter texture corruption of any kind, we recommend rolling back to the Catalyst 5.1 drivers. ATI is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it.
