of course if android branches in the 2.0 and 3.0...it may be possible to have 2.3 update instead of 3.0 :/

As good as phones like the EVO and Epic look, I think I'm going to wait until Gingerbread comes out. Phones like the droid and hero were only upgraded once, I don't think the carriers will take these phones all the way to 3.0.
Also I remember reading a post on Engadget that talked about phones with 2.0 Ghz Android phones comming by the years end. If you put all of that info together it seems like there will be alot of unhappy customers for those who choose to go with the current line up.
Also its been said that 3.0 will be the last upgrade for awhile, Android has reached a point where they can hopefully do a yearly upgrade.. similar to the iPhone's OS. Just looking at cell phone trending... the hero has been out for about 7-8 months, and it is outdated, and the EVO and Epic will be too. Because Android is upgrading the OS like crazy. Things should level out at 3.0.... I'm going to play the waiting game.
***EDIT***
Here's the clip from Engadget... it also looks like upcoming phones will have some more GPU options.

Looks like we didn't get the full dish from Sanjay Jha's
bout of loquaciousness this morning. It turns out Moto's chief of handsets has also expressed his company's intention to bring the world its first
2GHz smartphone and to do so on an aggressively accelerated roadmap. By the end of the year, Sanjay? Yes please. Another Moto exec is cited as saying NVIDIA Tegra will be providing the graphics prowess, Flash 10.1 will be fully supported, and a gyroscope will accompany HD video recording and output on the dreamy spec sheet. We wouldn't invest all of our trust in the conveniently anonymous exec's promised specs, but that 2GHz number comes straight from the top -- let the countdown begin.
**EDIT AGAIN**
Since I am a professional lurker lol, I also remember reading that the guy who did the Palm Pre's OS went to work for Google's Android UI or department or something to that effect. 3.0 should be a huge leap forward... yea... I'm going to wait.
