Nexus S Announced, Gingerbread Comes with it

Google has announced the Google Nexus S, their predecessor to the Nexus One. The phone is made by Samsung, and it's specs are as follows: 1GHZ Samsung Hummingbird processor (not 1.2), 4 inch 480*800 Super AMOLED display (much better in sunlight that Nexus One), a 5-megapixel camera that shoots 720p, a front-facing camera (VGA res), Android 2.3 and an unknown amount of RAM. Why is it unknown? I can't find it on the website. The Nexus S also features a curved glass display for good feel in the hand and on the ear. Now what we want to hear about, the software. Gingerbread is indeed Android 2.3, and it includes new features like a greatly improved keyboard, NFC (near-field-communication) chip, new HTC + IPhone-ish copy and paste features, and more. This phone is pretty good looking despite having a plastic feel. Of course, this device is running stock Android 2.3, and there are a bunch of videos for this thing including the promo video, which I put down below. The device will be launching on December 16th on T-Mobile (AT&T compatible), and is the usual $199 dollars on contract, and $529 dollars unlocked. Plenty of Gingerbread coverage will be coming from TechBlogwithJohn, so stay tuned. Also, do you guys think that the Droid will get 2.3? It is one of the few devices running stock, and it has pretty decent hardware. Tell me yes or no in the comments!
