Thanks! That's great news!
When I ripped the connector off one of the dev boards to see how strong it was, and then needed to use it again, I soldered a big male type A USB connector to the other end of the board and then wired across. You can wire onto the 2x 22 Ohm resistors, ground, and the side of the big diode for 5v - and then you can get proper USB working again!
Sorry to hear that it went though - Seeed have epoxied right over it on the boards that they have in stock (and the next batch that goes to Phenoptix will have this done too). I'm making sure the next revision has a 4 pin through-hole USB, so hopefully that one will be bombproof :)
