GOOG411 is at least a year old,
and is not a cell phone service
per se.
GOOG-411 has been around for a while. It's a service they want all phones to use, not just a phone released by Google. Same goes for ANDROID and their Java programmed mobile apps for Gmail and Maps.
That being said, I expect they will make a phone so that they have direct experience at what their customers want. Robert Cringley claims to have scoops on what their plans are. He's not always 100%, but he's usually not 100% wrong either.

(scroll down past on the MSFT-YHOO merger talk on the last link)
I use the mobile Gmail and RSS reader apps on my phone. One button access to my email and favorite feeds....like the belmont club...on my phone in most places, anytime.
Speaking of RSS feeds... Any thoughts on doing a full text feed, Wretchard? It is much easier to use such things in Google Reader.
I guess I misunderstood the Goog-411.
Softbank has a G3 phone in Japan that has a Yahoo button that links directly to the Internet Yahoo Website. He comments about this on You Tube:
