Apple almost always announce things on Tuesdays for a start...
Equally announcing a 3G phone on Monday would have a major impact on the US launch - many customers would wait for the 3G version... Its not as if the 3G version will be available instantly (they'd hardly launch a 2.5G version on Friday then a 3G version on Monday...)
From what I've read the iPhone hasn't been "widely slammed"... Some people have pointed out issues, but nothing major...
Unlikely
