CyanogenMod Brings Gingerbread to a Phone Near You

"The custom ROM is based on Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread and supports a wide range of phones including the HTC Evo, MyTouch 4G, Aria, G2, and Google Nexus One."

If you're wanting Android 2.3 you may not have to wait any longer.  Thanks to the CyanogenMod team you can get a custom ROM with Gingerbread now!  They have just made CyanogenMod-7 Release Candidates available for a number of phones.  They don't support NFC but anyone with a Nexus S, which is the only current device to supports it, comes with 2.3 anyway.  It sounds all good to me!  Let us know if you try it out!
