Is there a SmartList control for WP7, so as the user types if narrows down what is in the list for selection?
AutoCompleteBox, present in the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit available at http://silverlight.codeplex.com/
You can also use CollectionViewSource similar to this post: http://www.geoffhudik.com/tech/2011/2/13/wp7-in-app-searching-filtering-part-ii.html

I wanted to know is there any way I can achieve the same behavior of CheckBox we have in our windows phone outlook. In a listbox I have checkbox on every item but it should appear only when I touch and hold.
Please see the windows phone email program where your touch and hold in the left side and see all the checkboxes.
Thanks

What you're looking for is the MultiselectList control, which is part of the WP Toolkit...
Here are a a couple of tutorials from GeekChamp to get you started:
Windows Phone Toolkit MultiselectList in depth
How to get the Tapped Item in a MultiselectList control
I would also recommend downloading the source code for the WP Toolkit which contains a sample app that uses all the controls and features:

I have been using the autocompletebox from Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone.
What kind of changes (changes/extended ?) will be needed to enable the autocompletebox
to support auto completion for multiple phrases/words ? i.e. support something similar to
as soon as 'c' is entered in above the dropdown list shows items starting with 'c' etc.
(or how can this be achieved using normal text box?)

It is possible get access o library list and play songs in my app ? Not like this
if not... how to do this JumpList? I can't find good sample code, (this is ugly and doesn't work correctly).
his JumpList is a special ListBox? Am I right? How to relay which song was selected?
Ya earlier before August 2011, new Silverlight toolkit for WP7.1 mango it was a special ListBox with code logic to position the main list items.
But in Latest toolkit it is provided as a control, if you use
LongListSelector in your .xaml to show the list of items then it gives you a jumplist element as part of control.
For more information and sample on the LongListSelector refer this link.
you can download silverlight toolkit from here

Is there any particular reason you want to use that ComboBox? The link you've posted is a hack to get it to work on Windows Phone. Have you taken a look at the ListPicker control from the Silverlight toolkit?
This article provides a great introduction on how to use it.
I'm creating my first Windows Phone 7 application, and I'm struggling to find an autocomplete textbox. Is there an easy way to add one to the toolbox? Or do I need to create my own control?
The one from Silverlight 3's SDK, the AutoCompleteBox, works relatively well on the phone. It requires minimal styling changes to work.
There is a known issue today where selecting an item that pops up requires two taps: one to select and another to "really" select. We should have that issue in the platform (the bug is not in AutoCompleteBox) fixed by the time the phone development experience is ready.
AutoCompleteBox is in the Silverlight Tookit so you have to add a reference to that in your project.
After investigating it appears that there's not an auto-complete textbox control for windows phone 7 applications, so I've had to create one myself...
