In my opinion, the 4.2 OS for the 8700 is probably shelved until well after the 8800 release. There have been multiple working beta releases for the 8700 so it could be pushed out the door. If you think of it, any RIM OS release is never complete (how many 4.1 versions are out there) so why should this be different. However, as the intro of the 8800 approaches, it would make sense for customers to see a distinct advantage over the 8700. The features present in the 4.2 OS would really make the 8800 look good compared to the 8700 and may push 8700 owners to simply buy an 8800.
