Google, already a disruptive presence in the mobile phone industry, seems to be itching to reshape it once more. As early as January, the company plans to sell directly to consumers a new smart-phone that will not be "locked" to any wireless carrier, according to published reports. That means consumers could pick which carrier they want to use among those whose networks are compatible with the phone.
