Both CM7 & MIUI ROMs are based on Android 2.3.7. Only thing is HDMI doesn't work, and wifi and bluetooth can't be used at the same time.
Here's how to get it:

After installing ClockworkMod doing a backup then installing the CyanogenMod 7 and Gapps it took me a about 22 minutes and it was the first time I've done something like this.wow, it seems complicated. i may get the nerve to try this
You'll need a spare SD card to store your backup in case you want to jump back to factory ROM for some reason. A 2gig SD card will do.
Always feel free to ask any questions here. The people here are trustworthy.

You can have the backup on your normal SD card. I don't have any extras. I have saved some backups on my computer though.
p.s. It is really easy to do, like others have been saying. Just follow the instructions closely and you will be just fine.
2.3 is the natural upgrade from 2.2, of course developers are going to take advantage of its new features and make apps designed for it.
thats just how the world works.
what sucks is we dont have an "official" update, but I wholeheartedly recommend trying CM7 or MIUI out. AWESOME roms.
CM7 is basically stock gingerbread, with a bunch of cool settings that you can utilize, or completely ignore and keep it working like stock android.

the roms install to the phone itself, if you didnt know that.
you can change the SDs all you want, you flash the roms over the firmware thats already in the phone
no i was talking about the 2gb sd card that came with the phone, i could use that to back up the rom on, i have a 4gb class 4 im using now. Which custom ROM is "better" CM7 or Miui in your opinions?
ok ive got my stock backed up with clockwork, im gonna use CM7 and i have downloaded gapps i guess im good to go, i will try it when i get home from work! 
thx alot guys

just wait till you find out about cm7 themes (make sure to use only HDPI themes) and home replacements. its a world of fun customization.
MIUI really is the same thing, but they revamped the entire UI. if your used to stock android it will seem weird, as its more "iOS" in the way it does certain things. the menus are all switched around and re organized, the default launcher doesnt have a app drawer. but you can install any launcher.
in my opinion, the themes and overall "look and feel" is better on MIUI. it improves on everything android doesnt do "just right" but it wont "feel" like android. feels like a hybrid of ios and android, but its very, VERY good.
