ApplicationBar Icons with text

Is there a way to show text along with the icons permanently rather than when a user clicks the "..."?

Or should I instead just use standard buttons instead of the application bar?

I would say, if you have maxium two buttons to display on the page, you will probably be fine with standard text buttons, like the screenshot below from the windows phone marketplace. However, you probably don't want any icons on them.

Also try putting a rectangle behind the buttons so it looks like an application bar. :)

As far as i know there is no way to achieve what you are telling.. the user should click on the "..." to see the menu... http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/articles/Things-to-consider-when-using-WP7-Application-Bar http://windows-mobile-dev.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-use-application-bar-in-windows.html
