I'm just looking for reassurance really.
Then you need to wait six more days. You'll know and can feel all warm and fuzzy.

Only you can answer that question. If you want or need 3G then waiting until next week would be prudent. However, even if a new one is announced it is likely to be June before it's available in the US and December in Europe because of the approvals process. If a new one is announced then they may well drop the price of the current model to keep sales momentum so probably worth waiting if you can.

Forgot to mention that if you're so interested in 3G then you'd better make absolutely sure that it's available to you. There isn't much of the US that has it.
I would wait just a few days until Macworld, but I don't think there is going to be any major announcements as far as a new version.
I'm also waiting until after Macworld. I'm actually planning on picking mine up on Wednesday afternoon, the day after Macworld. I don't think that we'll see any new hardware for the iPhone at Macworld, and I don't think that Apple will show a "soon to be released in 6 months" iPhone 2 with 3G, etc, because that will most certainly put a 6 month STOP to people buying iPhones while waiting for the new ones...
But still, this close to Macworld, it's silly to buy something from Apple, we all know how Apple can suprise us.
Maybe they'll release a 16GB version and drop the 8GB price down a little bit? Time will tell.

Should I get one now, or wait for the 3G version. Yes, I'm insecure and don't want to get a 2G version now only to see the 3G version pop up early April. I'm just looking for reassurance really.
Normally I would say just buy the thing and start enjoying it!!! But being this close to Macworld, there would be no harm in waiting another week, just in case
I'm waiting for Macworld as well. Hoping for a 16GB version announcement but not counting on it. Buying one Tuesday regradless.
Don't rule out Jobs announcing a 3G iPhone next week at MCSF. I can very well see him doing that. Other phone companies do an update to their phones every 6-8 months, and we are in that time period with the iPhone.
Of what someone said earlier up in this thread, I totally agree that Jobs would not 'pre-announce' a 3G iPhone coming in June due to sales being dropped disgustingly for apple co. However, I can see him announcing one and shipping the day of or doing what he did for the iPod touch announcement, ready to be shipped a month or so afterwards.
That's just my thinking.
