How many classes does 4E has in total?

Since this game is after the 4E D&D I wonder how many classes does this game can have if it will have them. Also is it true that 4E has fewer classes then the previous edition?

Hope this helps, and naw, no one really gets mad at questions like that, just a bunch of @*#&$^ looking to be *@&#$^.

Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy.

by my count that is 46 different classes from the published 4e books.
Bah nerd duel away. You're the only forum poster with a companion named after ya. That kind of epic nerd cred should be used to your advantage.
PHB1: Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Ranger, Paladin, Warlock, Warlord, and Wizard.
PHB2: Avenger, Bard, Barbarian, Druid, Invoker, Shaman, Sorcerer, and Warden.
PHB3: Ardent, Battlemind, Monk, Psion, Runepriest, and Seeker (PHB3 also introduces hybrid classes for Artificer, Ardent, Avenger, Barbarian, Bard, Battlemind, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Invoker, Monk, Paladin, Psion, Ranger, Rogue, Runepriest, Seeker, Shaman, Sorcerer, Swordmage, Warden, Warlock, Warlord, and Wizard).
NWCS: Swordmage, Warlock, and Spellscarred.
Races:
PHB1: Dragonborn, Dwarf, Eladrin, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Human, and Tiefling.
PHB2: Deva, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc, and Shifter.
PHB3: Githzerai, Minotaur, Sharmind, and Wilden.
FRPG: Drow, Genasi, Dragonborn, Dwarf, Eladrin, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Human, and Tiefling.
NWCS: (Racial Variants) Dwarf, Eladrin, and Elf.
All this information comes from my own 4e Rulebooks and not from Wikis. These are Core Rulebooks and not Supplements. Classes: This does not take into account that each class, in effect, has a few classes within itself called "Roles." Races: This does not take into account all the various sub-races within many of the races.
Key:
PHB1 = 4e Player's Handbook: Arcane, Divine, and Martial Heroes
PHB2 = 4e Player's Handbook 2: Primal, Arcane, and Divine Heroes
PHB3 = 4e Player's Handbook 3: Psionic, Divine, and Primal Heroes
FRPG = 4e Forgotten Realms Player's Guide
NWCS = 4e Neverwinter Campaign Setting

Well, then it's obvious (to me) that the next class should be: WARLORD!
It is from PHB1 and one of the initial classes after all.
I can totally imagine a play mechanism where I aim at a colleague, right-click, and their attack rate doubles! w00t!
WARLORD ... WARLORD ...WARLORD ... WARLORD ...WARLORD ... WARLORD !

No, no, and for the millionth time NO. A paragon path only changes three powers and three passives. Thats it.
Do you honestly think that 1 at-will, 1 encounter, and 1 daily change can make a GF into a satisfactory Paladin? Would you honestly be happy if we tossed the current Warlock for a Wizard paragon, with just 3 powers changed?
You either need to change the entire paragon system or you need to give up on this idea that you can make new classes by altering existing ones. Its just not going to please anyone.
The rest still up-and-coming!

Zeb While these may be from the books you own, there are a lot more classes from Core Rule Books that you did not list. As much as I think they are trash books that tried to dumb the game down, the Player Essential books are core rule books. The only class I listed that wasn't from a rulebook was the Assassin which was from Dragon magazine instead.
Also, the answer depends on whether or not you count the classes from HoFL/HotFK, since they're technically just "subclasses" of one parent class. If yes, then 60-70. If not, probably 22, as others have said.
*Snort* HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THE PLAYERS HANDBOOK IS!
