The Sony A900 was just announced today at noon. One report said available in November. Another said available tomorrow. November is probably more reasonable.
The important part is full frame 24.6 megapixels at $3,000.

Actually, I will wait for the details and reviews. Nikons are coming out with some appealing features as well that I can make good use of, so I am not ruling them out.

Not when you consider the area of resolution alone. Double the megapixels for the same cost factor.
