private void getScreenInfo() 
{
    double dpix = -1.01;
    double screensize = -1.01;
    double dpiy = -1.01;
    Size res;
    try {
        dpix = (double)DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("RawDpiX");
        dpiy = (double)DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("RawDpiY");
        res = (Size)DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("PhysicalScreenResolution");
        screensize = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(res.Width / dpix, 2) + Math.Pow(res.Height / dpiy, 2));
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
    }

You can find the screen size by using

Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth;

and 

Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight;

On my Windows phone 8s they return 480x800 which is the correct screen size.

Note that the values returned are relative to portrait mode, if you're using landscape you'll have to invert them.
