I think Windows Phone 8 will be a bit more tightened down than Windows 8. My understanding is that you can only install apps from their own store, and it'll only run on MS approved handsets. I heard it does or will allow for SD storage to be added though.
Also, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 are not the same thing. From what I've read, there is no accessibility, Narrator or a 3rd party screen reader, for Windows Phone 8.
