Until Apple makes it official, no one knows for sure.

I would give nearly 100% probability that it will go on sale at 6 pm.

There's also rumor that it will go on sale at 8 a.m. local time, due to the more time consuming in-store activation process.

However...

I don't think this launch will be anywhere near the big deal the first one was. They might do 6PM again, but I don't think it's a guarantee at all.

it will be better if it is at 8:00AM because you will be waiting to like 8:00pm if the launch is at 6:00PM because of all the activations and people there to buy one

iPhone 3G $399-$699 U.S. price options, 8AM launch announced | iLounge News

AT&T has revealed details regarding its pricing policy for the iPhone 3G in the United States. As previously announced, the 8GB model will cost $199 and the 16GB model will sell for $299, and will be available at those prices to customers who bought the iPhone before July 11, who are activating a new line with AT&T and/or who are eligible for an upgrade discount. For customers who aren’t eligible for the upgrade discount and who agree to a new two-year service plan, the 8GB model will sell for $399 and the 16GB model for $499 — identical to Apple’s unsubsidized pricing on the first-generation iPhone. Finally, AT&T will also offer the iPhone 3G on a no-contract-required basis, with the 8GB model priced at $599 and the 16GB at $699. The iPhone 3G will go on sale at 8 a.m. local time, July 11.
