From what I've read around here on AC and over at XDA is that devices like the EVO, DroidX and so on wont see an official 2.3 update. What we're waiting for is the 2.4 update. Its suppose to be a more friendly update for single core devices. Search the front page of AC, if I remember right that's where I read it first. But like someone mentioned above, there are a few custom ROM's based off of 2.3. And I'm sure more are to come.

Friendly for Single-core devices? No it adds dual-core support. Really nothing else, but Google is trying it's best to help the fragmentation.

Most likely seeing that the new HTC devices are getting 2.4. If HTC and Sprint decide to update the EVO, it will most likely be 2.4. From talking to multiple Sprint sources, the talks went dead when the 2.4 thing came about. Before that numerous sources had said to me Gingerbread for the EVO was being worked on. After the announcement of 2.4, the talks went dead.

I spoke to a HTC rep and was told that Gingerbread will be out soon(no specific date was mentioned). I don't know what to say on that - however, I'm optimistic that we will be getting an update pretty soon. :)

How did you come into contact with this rep? I'm now getting conflicting reports from my sources at HTC and Sprint.

That issue was only in 2.3 I believe. It was a Nexus S bug.
