Unfortunately, OpenGL is not supported on Windows Phone. You can use Direct3D in Windows Phone 8 or XNA in Windows Phone 7/8.

EDIT/UPDATE:

If you want to use OpenGL on Windows Phone 8, you can use the ANGLE project which is an OpenGL API built on top of DirectX.

OpenGL is not supported yet on Windows Phone, but according to Marmalade, they will be providing OpenGL ES for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 "in early 2013".

Read their announcement at the following link and download Marmalade to get notified when it becomes available: http://www.madewithmarmalade.com/windows8?utm_source=fronpage-carousel&utm_medium=site-internal&utm_campaign=windows8-announce

Note that Marmalade is not free though - even the Community Edition is $149/seat/year..
