Here's the complete story
OK, after reading all these reviews I was thouroughly confused so here is the story. I purchased this adapter and used it with th e Apple universal docking station.
This adapter works very well with the Universal Docking Station. It is not a tight fit. It is a perfect fit.
The old Docking station has an adapter for the original iphone but not for the 3G iphone. That's why you need this one. If you get the original docking station, you can still use it with no adapter, but you would risk damaging the connection if you were to move the phone beyond a certain point.
The old docking station comes with a big hole and about 6 adapters in the kit. Unfortunately, none work for the 3G. The new Docking station will have this adapter included in the kit.
I ordered the new Universal Docking station, but they mistakenly sent me the old one. When I complained, they sent me this adapter and I've had no other problems.
So go ahead and purchase either the old docking station with this adapter or the new one without. It will work fine.

If you read LM from Langehorn's review, read this one
LM fomr Langehorn (is that how you spell it?) gave this product a 1 star review because this universal dock adapter did not work f or his 1st gen iPhone dock, or that was my understanding of the review. Also noted was that the reviewer held a degree in mechanical engineering and opened up the possibility of this adapter being designed for a different dock.
The new iPhone 3G is slightly bigger than the first generation. Not by much, but to hold the 3G and GPS radios, as well as a larger battery to power these, it needed to be. So, being someone with a degree, you should understand that there is not way the iPhone 3G will fit in the dock if you make it smaller. For that, you need to make it larger, as many have done with a dremel or sandpaper.
This adapter is, in fact, designed for a different dock - the universal dock. The name of the product, while it may be taken to mean it works universally with all docks, means that it works with a dock system designed to work universally with all iPods and iPhones, with the proper size adapters. This is, of course, one of those adapters.
The universal dock from Apple is useful in a stereo set up, and many stereos have an integrated universal dock. The dock is designed with the connector slightly raised and the iPod area much larger than necessary. Adapters, such as this one, are inserted into the dock ensuring a snug fit. The universal dock also features an infrared (IR) receiver so the Apple remote can be used to control the iPod. The universal dock was released while the 2nd generation iPod nano was Apples "small" player because, previously, they were carrying docks for many past iPods as well and the universal dock meant customers who preferred a dock did not have to buy a new one with every new iPod. The iPhone 3G is the first device since the universal dock that does not include an adapter, leaving it with no docking solution in the box.
I hope this review can clear up some confusion as to what this product is used for. …- Written by Dan P from Chapel Hill

It's an adapter for the iPod Universal Dock
For "LM from Langhorne": It's an adapter to make the iPhone 3G fit in Apple's "iPod Universal Dock". It's not an adapter to make t he iPhone 3G fit in the old iPhone dock. You need to be careful to read the product description. …

Not bad, but could be better
Just received my pack of three dock adapters. Fit perfectly into my Logitech Pure-Fi dream alarm clock. Makes it much easier to in sert the phone rather then having no adapter at all.
Complaints:
1. Make them in black also to match the phone/clock/most things
2. Its not a perfect fit around the iphone 3g which is disappointing. I like how the 3G's USB dock fits the phone perfectly, but this adapter has a little space around the phone.
Still.. over all you are better off with this then without it! …- Written by Luke C from Bankstown

Best Answer
Yes, you only need an adapter. The white box on the iphone wall charger has a built-in converter. You can read the very fine print on the box: 100-240V - Europe is 220V so you are fine. …
