EXPEED 2 alone is a big deal, means better image quality and video than what D90 or (slightly better due to MP bump than what) D3100 offers, perhaps even better than the D300s (EXPEED, or EXPEED I if anyone prefers), sadly it only has true HD on 720p, other video resolutions will be captured on 24fps (Not that a lot of eye can discern the difference anyway). So, IQ and video on this baby is expected to be a lot better. This definitely has the potential to take a few HD Video DSLR shooter market out from Canon users who are in serious need of better low light performance.
D300s has more AF points but some say it's not that useful at all for a handful of paid/professional use that they do. So, the 39 AF points on D7000 should suffice for the "advance amateur" or the "serious newbie."
From news sources online, it sounds like the D90 won't be going anywhere or won't be phased-out for now. Nikon definitely carved out a place for it. But if anyone is saving for a brand new D90, it really wouldn't hurt to save up more to get the D7000, just be sure to wait a month or two after the product is actually released into the market to double check performance reviews posted by eager beavers.
