I suspect it *is* Davros - though if it is, he's been smoking 40 or so Havana cigars a day since last we saw him. We've heard the voice in trailers, but not seen who is speaking.
"They survive through me!" is the only phrase we have heard, and I think that is all.
It is someone the Daleks revere as a god - literally, but Davros doesn't necessarily fit that persona as they have always been ambivalent toward their creator (assuming the continuity, such as it ever was, holds).
The simple answer is usually the best. My best guess other thab Davros himself, is that it is the Dalek that the Doctor and Rose found on earth. I wasn't convinced that it destroyed itself at the time, what we saw could just as easily been a teleport. At the same time, it was mutated by incorporation of Roses's DNA, and even if it had teleported, there was nowhere for it to go, except elsewhere on earth. The Daleks have time technology, so it is not inconeivable that it undertook to manipulate the Doctor's timeline in particular by fiddling with earth's development. This would ensure both the opportunity to rebuild its race through cloning, and also make sure that the Doctor kept coming back to earth (not that he's ever needed much persuasion in that direction), over many millennia. Especially when, relatively speaking, humans are the nearest he now has to family.
We'll find out on Saturday. But as clever and entertaining as the scripting has been, there isn't a great deal to support the idea of a hidden, overarching plotline other than the Bad Wolf references themselves. Even the Bad Wolf episode itself only suggested that the Daleks as a race, as opposed to who/whatever is behind them, have been building for about 100 years, and that episode is set in 202005 (I think).
