  Reading all these articles is fascinating, but every time I just wonder to myself why on earth this stuff isn't built in to the platform or phone. This should be completely transparent to any developer writing an app for the phone. It amazes me that people are going to have to solve this on their own.

  Excellent! and timely. My apps are waiting for these touches before I could shoot them to Marketplace :) BTW : What about normal page transitions on Navigating ? What's the best way to do it. I used TransitionContentControl, but it is buggy. What is the best way to do right now (after final tools)

  Janki, Cool - glad I can help out! :) Investigating page transitions is something that's already on our list for a future release of the Windows Phone Toolkit. I know some folks are using TransitioningContentControl, but I've heard it's not always as elegant a process as it could be. We'll be thinking about what we can do in the Toolkit to make this a little easier for everyone. Stay tuned! :)

  Yeah, TCC for wp7 currently has a bug where the height of the layout based on the systemtray and appbar are not taken into account, so everything is offset wrong after transition :-/

  Hi, This is very cool but have run into a problem.  I had implemented page transitions using the Toolkit and had set RootFrame to RootFrame = new TransitionFrame();   If I set RootFrame to one of the orientation transitions then I lose my page transitions.  So the question my question is, How can I implement both orientation & page transitions.  An example or anything that you can assist with will be helpful. Cheers!

  Kevin, I blogged about a solution for that scenario here: blogs.msdn.com/.../better-together-dynamicorientationchanges-and-transitionframe-create-a-comprehensive-transition-experience-for-windows-phone-7.aspx

  Very easy to use, but on my phone the animation is very jumpy: it starts quite late, and then jumps instead of smoothly transitioning.

  Sam Jost, Sorry to hear that! It worked well on the OS and devices I had available at the time, but I know some of the more recent 256-MB phones are less capable, so perhaps that's an issue here? You don't say if the slowness you're seeing is with the sample itself, but you might try that if you haven't already - it's possible the slowness has something to do with the application you've added this to?
