Does the connectivity drop sometimes? Does it become just a bit of plastic when that happens or does it still do something?

Have you tested it outside a city?

Yep it has, since it's tethered to my Nexus 4 for data when not on Wifi. Plenty still works without data, you can still take photos, browse the "cards" that are on the device, etc.
