    <Paging:BindableApplicationBar.ApplicationBar>
        <Paging:BindableApplicationBar>
            <Paging:BindableApplicationBarIconButton ... Command="{Binding ...}" />

        <viewModels:ListPageViewModel x:Key="viewModel" />
    </phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent" 
          DataContext="{StaticResource viewModel}">
        ...
    </Grid>
    
    <Paging:PhonePage.ApplicationBar>
        <Paging:BindableApplicationBar DataContext="{Binding viewModel}">
            <Paging:BindableApplicationBarIconButton 
                Command="{Binding MyCommand}" />
        </Paging:BindableApplicationBar>
