    kP outlined the procedure to apply highlighting here.

    Windows Phone 7: Highlight Selected Listbox item

    The procedure is pretty much the same to remove the highlighting.. you just delete the storyboard in the Selected Visual State from the copy you made of the template.

    So..

    1. Open the project in blend.
    2. Target the listbox
    3. Right click, Edit Additional Templates, Edit Generated Item Container, Edit a Copy
    4. Go to the xaml and change
    <VisualState x:Name="Selected">
  <Storyboard>
    <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentContainer">
      <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
    </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
  </Storyboard>
</VisualState>

    to

    <VisualState x:Name="Selected"/>
