Answer 1

Here is some information about framework that I had recently published: http://columbus.codeplex.com/

Columbus is MVC framework designed specifically for the Windows Phone 7 platform and supports:

• Strongly typed navigation with history
• View Models that can survive tombstoning
• Asynchronous and cancelable controller actions with execution progress
• Commands (CAB style)
• Multiple navigation frames
• Features to help applications to be complaint with 'Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements'
• Easy integration with IoC containers available on the Windows Phone 7 platform (source code solution contains samples demonstrating how to use Columbus with Autofac and Ninject).
• Simplified and testable usage of Choosers
