Geeksphone launches the first multi OS smartphone
You probably can't use any proprietary OS on it: Apple certainly would never license iOS, and I doubt W8 would either.
Android, Ubuntu Mobile, Firefox OS, Meego, Tizen are more likely candidates.

Phones aren't commodity x86 hardware in the way PCs are. The hardware can't be enumerated.

Windows 8? Yeah. You can't buy Windows Phone 8.
