You never get anywhere by waiting!
The one thing you can’t do is take the current exam version and then take the new one and have both count toward the CCNP. The CCNP has a three-exam path and a four-exam path, and here are the four exam qualifications you must fulfill to become a CCNP with the four-exam path:
Current BSCI (642-801) or Revised BSCI (642-901)
Current BCMSN (642-811) or Revised BCMSN (642-812)
Current BCRAN (642-821) or New ISCW (642-825)
Current CIT (642-831) or New ONT (642-845)
If your choose the three-exam path, just replace the first two exams shown above with the current Composite exam (642-891) or revised Composite exam (642-892). Cisco expects to release the revised Composite exam in November 2006.
