I haven't followed Nehalem, but I can tell you the first ones released will be the "Extreme Editions" and will sell for over $1,000. That's Intel's tradition.
More affordable versions will probably not be available until Q1 2009 so that Intel can build up a sufficient stockpile to supply their primary vendors. No, Newegg.com is not considered a primary vendor.

Nope - they're releasing 3 models together. One is the extreme, which will sell at $1000, and clock at 3.2GHz. However, there will also be a ~$500 2.93GHz model and a ~$300 2.66GHz model. All should be available simultaneously, and in not too long.

I emailed Newegg asking this question. I figured this, but they wouldn't/couldn't say. I REALLY want to know! I want to start buying things as soon as I know the date. I'm hoping I'll be able to get the ~$300 CPU and a Giga-Byte motherboard soon!!!
You will know its coming soon once people start to get there hands on the ES samples of the chips. Until then, dont get your hopes for it coming out really soon
