1) Wire up the SelectionChanged event on the LongListSelector control:

<phone:LongListSelector ItemsSource="{Binding MyListItems}"
                        SelectionChanged="LongListSelector_SelectionChanged">

2) Retrieve the selected item from the AddedItems collection in the SelectionChangedEventArgs:

private void LongListSelector_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.AddedItems.Count > 0)
     {
         var item = e.AddedItems[0];
     }
}

3) If your item is an object, and the text is displayed through a property, then you would have access to the text through the property on your object:

MyListItemObject item = e.AddedItems[0] as MyListItemObject;
MessageBox.Show(item.FullName);

If your list is bound to a list of strings, then it would simply be the first item in the AddedItems collection:

string fullName = e.AddedItems[0].ToString();
MessageBox.Show(fullName);
