In Windows Phone 8 you have built-in API for reverse geocoding, without the need of adding a Service Reference to Bing Maps:

        List<MapLocation> locations;
        ReverseGeocodeQuery query = new ReverseGeocodeQuery();
        query.GeoCoordinate = new GeoCoordinate(47.608, -122.337);
        query.QueryCompleted += (s, e) =>
            {
                if (e.Error == null && e.Result.Count > 0)
                {
                    locations = e.Result as List<MapLocation>;
                    // Do whatever you want with returned locations. 
                    // e.g. MapAddress address = locations[0].Information.Address;
                }
            };
        query.QueryAsync();
