With GSM, all you really need from your carrier is the SIM card. Pop it in the phone, and voila. I guarantee you that if they sell the phone at a good price by itself, carriers will start offering SIM-only plans, where you don't have to get their subsidized cell phone or sign up for some long period contract.

You can do most of this already with widely availible phones. I already have gmail,maps,calendars... on my windows mobile phone which comes with a very good development environment and community. As for having an "open" phone. There are lots of those already (they are called unlocked), if google can get the cell companies to sell an "open" phones or price there phone under $100 that would be a market change, but it would also surprise me. The thing that google can do to change the industry is to allow their phones to seamlessly move from the celular network to a wireless internet connection without dropping the call (ala tmobile). This is the only thing that google might be able to do that will change the cell market. Nothing i have heard will make a big change to the cellphone industry.
