I doubt D700 prices will fall that much, used D300 prices didn't fall much after the D300s came out. I doubt we'll see anything other than video added to the D700, so I suspect the used price will fall to $2100 at the most.
Would you want a D90 size FX camera for $ 1500, but only 12MP

Yeah but remember the price of the D200 feel down hard after the D300. It's all a matter of time. Full frame bodies will become cheaper so having an all DX lens collections is not a good idea.

Depends on where you are. Used D200s are still going for $800+ in Canada, because availability dropped off much faster here (right after the D300 came out) than in the US. :-(

D300 or D200 many Dx photographers I know (including myself) shoot mostly Fx lenses anyways, even if they are not planning to switch to Fx...
The introduction of a Fx sized and priced Dx would make the switch to Fx too easy...

And what's wrong with that? Nikon still makes money because everyone with DX glass now has to buy FX lenses too.

Back before they did the switch from the D200 to D300 there wasn't a FX option yet, so I think that things will be a little different this time around. Don't get me wrong, I hope they make a cheap FX option, but I just don't see them eliminating the DX world anytime soon.

I don't see them eliminating it (they may have if they didn't produce so many dx lenses) but if they made a Fx at Dx prices they would choke the sale of not only Dx bodies but also around 50% of the nikkor lenses produced today...

I don't see Nikon killing DX, not in consumer/entry level cameras, but they would sure steal some market share from Canon if they put out a full frame camera for $2000. Sales of the 7D would plummet.
