Key things I worry about
a) does the map widget work
b) does printing work
c) can you connect to Facebook

(those three are stuff that is frequently broken)

Then

d) a sanity check that you can download from your dive computer
e) that you can connect to cloud storage

With those 5 things tested, I'd be comfortable that it's not completely
broken...

I still hope for a different USB implementation, but just like everyone
else here, Anton has a lot of other things on his todo list.
