Are you still crossing your fingers for the iPhone 5 release date?

Id say October November unless you are going to be waiting gin line for September release.
Well, it doesn't really matter when we think or hope its gonna come out. Anyways, as per thread title, I am not crossing fingers for iPhone 5 anymore. I don't really care, my 3GS will be okay until it comes out - whenever it does.
Still think June/July and in before some Verizon guy says "But they just released it on Verizon!!" World vs One Carrier.
As much as I wish it would release in the june/july time frame, all evidence suggest august/september.
Like what? Well I can talk to my girlfriend, study for school, play COD, use my iPad/iPhone/Macbook Air, go out partying. If all fanboys do is sit there with there fingers crossed waiting for an iPhone 5 which may be months away then I'm defiantly not a fanboy. Also I wouldn't call Macrumors a fanboy site, Macrumors is a site for virtually anyone interested in technology/Apple not just fanboys even Apple haters come here.
Usual April iOS preview --> WWDC
thus by extension of that logic:
iOS 5 released at September event (first week of Sept) for existing users (remember the nightmare release that was OS 3.0?)
and
iPhone 5/4S/whatever announced at September event, released 2ish weeks later to give carriers/networks time to prepare
Only question remaining is the release of iPod Touch 5G. Do they release it on day of September event or near enough, thus before the iPhone, or will its availability be put back to coincide with the phone?
I expect the latter; can't see the Touch, the red-headed stepchild, being released before the (by comparison in Apple's eyes) prodigy that is the iPhone.

I would bet money it would be released in September or August.
I would also put money on the fact they will announce the beta IOS on WWDC and it will be available within a week or so after that.
