Getting emails to work on WordPress running on IIS Express (WebMatrix)
I'm working on a WordPress project locally on my PC, deployed via WebMatrix. I love how easy Microsoft has made the process of trying out web apps with the Web Platform Installer. It's a great way to get up and running, so that you can concentrate on the process of writing code, rather than setting stuff up.

All I looked for was a high res display, decent reception, sound quality and of course smilies on text messages 
. Hardly anybody called me anyway. So, it was never worth the money to buy a phone that I didn't care to pick up.
