Hi dweaver1,
froyo for the nexus one was released about 2 weeks after google released it, no two months.
In terms of gingerbread many people on here have been given various different answers from different sources within Vodafone.
I was told that Vodafone were working on it however there had been some delays, rjchaplin on the other hand was told that Vodafone had yet to recieve the update from google. Both these stories came from the CEO's office who should have know what was going on.

At the end of the day if you want the Vodafone flavoured version of Gingerbread it's just a case of waiting, potentially a while.
The guys on here will release the details as soon as they know.
If you desperatly want Gingerbread there is a very easy and simple way of getting it onto your Nexus One. Look for RustyU's post in here, it's the one with the big red text you need to follow!

I would point out that the recent update to 2.3.4 has massively improved my battery life. On 2.3.3 I was struggling to reach the end of the day after an overnight charge.
This issue is caused by the fact that the tokens are not being encrypted before transmission.
You are only at risk of being affected by this if you use an unencrypted internet connection and this would only occur if you are using a public wifi hotspot.
This is a minor issue and wouldn't gauruntee any kind of update.
Also most phones that are being updates are getting updated to 2.3.3 which is still affected, so an update wouldn't fix the issue.
There is an issue in android 2.1 with SMS handling, this issue was fixed by Google in 2.2 but took networks months to get round to updating handsets, in fact you will still find several handsets on 2.1
Best advice here, don't use public WiFi.
dwaever, in all honesty the dates shouldnn't matter, Vodafone should have released the update some time ago!
I decided to go the manual route and quite glad i did now to be honest, it's like i have a new phone. lol. Okay so Vodafone won't cover my warranty but i should still be covered by HTC.
If you despeartly need gingerbread then update manually, you won't regret it!
Some apps store their config on your SD card so assuming you don't wipe your card that would be restored, I couldn't tell what appss do and don't though.
I find it useful to occasionally start from scratch, there were a lot of app i had on my phone before that i just didn't use, now they are not there i have a lot more space on my phone for appas that i do use
