Some wishes to make the control better:
1. The control should have formatting settings as regular texbox (i.e. I would like to put the content in the middle).
2. The text should be "convertable", i.e. I want to bind it to a DateTime variable with the following converter:
string.Format(culture, "{0:ddd, dd MMM yyyy}", value)
3. The title of the control should be flexible (one has to dig into the control code to change "CHOOSE DATE").
4. I US people think in format MONTH-DAY-YEAR. In Europe the layout is DAY-MONTH-YEAR. I would like the colums order to be adjustable.
Besides: THANK YOU for the current version. Works great!

For #3, I think it's a bug.
Fist, I generate the resource dll files by the source code.
Secode, copy the resource dll of all language to \Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Toolkit\Oct11\Bin.
Third, open the project file (<project name>.csproj) in a text editor. Locate the <SupportedCultures> tag and add the names of each additional culture (language) your application needs to support. e.g.
<SupportedCultures>de-DE;es-ES;</SupportedCultures>
Now you can rebuild you sln and enjoy the right result.
So, I think the SDK lack the Localization file. (And the other SDK (e.g. silverlight) contain the Localization file.) If the toolkit sdk contain these files, you can localizing you project only through the third step.
