Ofiaich, It's a tough one! Patience is a virtue
It's difficult to tell whether there will be much worth-while improvement in the latest yet-to-be announced iPhone, however it's mainly going to operate the same... OS 3.0 obviously will give the current 3G some much needed improvements. It's a shame they havent started to sell the 3G's off cheaply yet. Personally i know i would regret it if i got the iPhone now and then the new model came out 2 months down the line - but thats just me!

I would wait, personally. It's quite possible that a new and improved model will land in shops in June. There will most likely be an announcement on or around 8th June and Apple usually turn things around
very quickly, it's not like SE where they announce something in February and it hits the shops in December.
As good as the 3G is, and as nice as the OS3.0 features we know about are, I suspect the newer phone will probably be worth waiting for. It's bound to have a better camera with video, and there may well be a few other surprises.
More importantly, they really don't appear to be lowering the price of the 3G at all, so it's not like there's a great deal to miss out on right now. If they slash the price or contract commitment or whatever at the start of June then maybe think again, but otherwise wait and see, you'd be gutted to pay full price for a 3G and then have the 4G (or whatever they're going to call it) replace it on the exact same tarrif a few weeks later.

I am due on upgrade on o2, Since 17th of this month and I've been thinking about exactly the same thing whether I should get the 3g or not. Im currently using the 2g without the data tariff so I really do need the 3g for Internet on the move but I guess I'm gonna wait till apple makes it clear in June. The contracts nowadays are two long to be going ahead without a careful thought 18 months have now been stretched to 24 months and 2 Years using a same phone is a lot of time!!
I might just even go for the N97 if It releases an earlier than the new iphone.

The latest rumour is the new phone will be in shops on July 17th following an announcement on June 8th. Randomn (possibly made up) specs include an OLED screen, rubberised back, twice the memory, better battery, 3.2mp camera with video recording and editing, and a "light-up" Apple logo on the back that doubles as a flash.

Try here -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/20/rubber_iphone_rumor/ - it could all be nonsense, but that's the fun of pre-release rumours really. Seems pretty credible to me.

...and that would be near enough exactly one year after the 3G launched

Yup - I'll be exactly halfway through my 18mths in June, so can't afford to race to the shops just yet. That's the downside of the 3G's success for Apple really, a large chunk of the most enthusiastic, ready-made market for their new phone will still be chained to the old one for months! Look out for stories of "disappointing" uptake in the first six months and the new iPhone being outsold by the Pre, etc..
I keep telling myself, with the 3.0 OS update, my old 3G will be like a new iPhone...
