I am actually super exited about Google's decision. I only used Android because it was the least-worst option. I always hated how restrictive its OS is, and the Play Store, the locking-down of tethering, etc. But I never had enough reason to try a totally open-source smartphone. Until now.

I'm so excited that I might even jump back into open source development to make a new OS that isn't as bloated and slow as Android. There is a need for an OS that only gives you minimum capabilities, to run on cheaper, simpler, smaller devices. I would love to help make that a reality.
