Answer 1

While the Phone application state method may work, it throws exception when you come back from dormancy. Its not designed to store large objects. A better way to do it would be by overriding the navigation function of navigationservice class. Here is a link to help you guide through it:-

Answer 2

In the first page do the following:

PhoneApplicationService.Current.State["param"] = p;
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/PhonePageOne.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

And in the second retrieve the parameter:

Person p = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State["param"] as Person;

The PhoneApplicationService.State dictionary is a temporary storage location which persists until your app is deactivated.

Other option could be to declare a static member in, for example, App.xaml.cs and use it to save the object from one page and to retrieve from the second one.

You can use Messenger --> MVVM Light it's an advanced use for MVVM. Declare a messenger / Register messenger in your view model / Send what you want :) http://mvvmlight.codeplex.com/
