Same boat as you. Well I sold my first one (cyan 16) mainly because I made quite a bit of profit and also had a couple of other devices loaned for testing, etc so I thought I'd buy a black 64 one later when prices went down a bit.

I'd suggest waiting, especially since the holidays are here and you're right with the release of other competitive devices the price should go down.

On related news, Chinese worker pay rates are increasing by 30% I believe, so if there are more N9s being made in China the price will probably reflect the increase. Of course this applies to every other electronic coming from China as well.

Luckily we can also choose Made in Finland, which is one of the reasons I want to wait. More quality control and oversight cause it's a home factory.
