Answer 1

Download the wp7 toolkit from here:

http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/55034

And use the page transitions.

They are very simple to use, just some xaml added to the page:

<toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationInTransition> <toolkit:NavigationInTransition> <toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Backward> <toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="BackwardIn"/> </toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Backward> <toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Forward> <toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="ForwardIn"/> </toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Forward> </toolkit:NavigationInTransition> </toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationInTransition> <toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationOutTransition> <toolkit:NavigationOutTransition> <toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Backward> <toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="BackwardOut"/> </toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Backward> <toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Forward> <toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="ForwardOut"/> </toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Forward> </toolkit:NavigationOutTransition> </toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationOutTransition>
