The micro-usb socket on these boards is attached EXTREMELY POORLY. The solder they are using does not adhere to the ground casing of the socket, so any lifting force at all will cause the socket to pop off as it did on mine almost immediately.

While I did manage to solder it back on, hopefully for good they really need to pick a better socket with more and longer legs (that extend right through the board), and add thermal reliefs around the legs so that they can be heated properly while soldering. Even with a 250 watt soldering iron, it was hard to get the solder to melt with the heat being conducted away through the board.
