You can get the current page from the root frame. The default App class that is generated in the project has a RootFrame property that is already of type PhoneApplicationFrame. The value of the Content property is the current page and can be cast to PhoneApplicationPage.

var currentPage = ((App)Application.Current).RootFrame.Content as PhoneApplicationPage;

The RootVisual property on the Application class references the same frame, but is a UIElement, so you could use the following instead:

var currentPage = ((PhoneApplicationFrame)Application.Current.RootVisual).Content;
