Peter Kuhn solves a problem with the default style for the hyperlink button in Windows Phone 7 which does not wrap the link text.

On Windows Phone 7, some details are wired differently. Often the default templates for controls are heavily simplified due to the lower performance provided on the devices. I recall a statement from someone official (unfortunately from memory as I don't remember where it was) that sacrifices have been made especially in those situations where we have a most prevalent use of certain controls. In this case, the common scenario for a hyperlink is to show a text link, so consequently the default template on WP7 is tailored to text use. That means that those 95% of the developers for Windows Phone 7 that use hyperlinks with text content benefit from an increased performance.
