At the Seattle game day event, I did an interview with Gamer Radio Zero and was asked about the classes in the PH 2. It was a long, hectic day, and I had very little sleep, so I managed to get some of the initials wrong. Anyway, here are the correct ones:
B
B
D
I
S
S
T
W
There is no R class. I have no idea how my brain inserted that letter into the sequence.

No R? Thanks for the clarification, sir.

You said some of these have never been seen in D&D before? Not even 1ed? How many are familiar, and how many are new? I figure 4 of them (at the least) are old favorites, but knowing how many we haven't seen before would help in the pointless speculation. :D

Your brain latched onto the R sound in bard. That's what I predict happened.
Having sussed out what four of the classes will be, I'll just have to keep my WITS about me for clues as to the identity of the others. I reckon there's going to be at least one pet/summoner class. Will see if I'm right or wrong when the time comes. :)

For more clues, you can watch the full interview with Mister Mearls, which was just posted today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNtc4sJTdWc

Hmm, I just listened to the interview and it invalidated a couple of my guesses, but I'll finish putting them down.
Well, the obvious ones out of the way
Bard
Barbarian
Druid
I was going to guess shadow for the second power source, giving
Illusionist
Shadowblade
But he said only 3 were done previously so that would rule out the Illusionist. Unless it's something semantic.
I thought the following two could fit for more castery options:
Shaman
Theurge
And I was actually kinda baffled on this one for a bit...
W
Witch Doctor? Wyrd? Wraith something. Anyhow, if illusionist (or a variant) is off the table I'm less sure on I. Someone else can guess it, I'm sure :)

Make that "thinking". Gleemax doesn't seem to let us edit our own posts yet.

Three are completely and utterly new. The rest are either classes or old concepts revisited.

Aha! That seems different to what I mistakenly heard (and people have been repeating) in that it was 3 that were old, everything else was new.
I predict W, I and T will be completely new while S for Shaman (Primal) will be an oldie (with Bard, Barbarian and Druid already given to us by someone else and Sorcerer mentioned as having its first draft completed).
