Reuters is reporting that Apple will begin shipping the iPhone 5 in September.
Apple Inc suppliers will begin production of its next-generation iPhone in July this year, with the finished product likely to begin shipping in September, three people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The new smartphone will have a faster processor but will look largely similar to the current iPhone 4, one of the people said.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo with Concord Securities has heard that "the iPhone 5 will include the faster A5 processor already found in the iPad 2, as well as a higher resolution 8 megapixel rear camera. He has also been told that Apple will switch to a Qualcomm baseband for both GSM and CDMA models, along with an improved antenna design."

I am still using a 3GS and will continue using it until it dies or until Apple no longer supports updates for it. I did not want to get the iPhone 4 and wanted to wait until the iPhone 5 came out. Now it looks like I will be waiting for the iPhone 6 as the 5 is not much of an upgrade.
Until they make a phone to support LTE and/or 4G, there is no need for me to upgrade

This could be bad for ATT. In my case, since the upgrade will be minimal, all 3 contract will be fulfilled in April 2012.
Verizon will have more LTE implemented and by then the iPhone will also have LTE.
Then again, a non-apple phone could be taken over.

Sounds like the timing will be perfect for me to upgrade my 3Gs. The question for me will be, do I go with AT&T or Verizon?

You can however be on a call and access the internet through wifi. anytime i've wanted to check something while on the phone i've been either at work, home, or an airport, all of which have wifi connections. and if i do need to hang up the phone for 3 minutes to check something, it's really not that big of a deal. I'd say it's a pretty good trade for actually receiving calls.

I don't access the web while on a call a lot. Mostly I access my calendar while on the phone. Doesn't Verizon use 3G/4G? If on that can't you access the Internet on Verizon?

They must have something more to make me even considder upgrading from my iPhone 4. Very pleased with that phone so far and a better camera or CPU is not enough.

I mostly agree. The camera is tempting and if it can take action shots I think that would tip the scales.
Also, if it does better at reception (not due to holding it but in general) then that too would push me that way. Currently my reception is extremely spotty whereas my 3gs wasn't that bad and my razr v3xx was immaculate.
