[quote=Android Police]LG reached out to us moments ago with news that the company's upcoming smartwatch, the Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE, has been canceled due to an unspecified hardware issue. There is no word at this time if the device will be released at a later date, but for now, LG is calling this a full-on cancellation of the launch.[/quote]

must have been a pretty serious issue for them to completely cancel it

[QUOTE]The Urbane LTE 2 was to be the first Android Wear smartwatch with mobile data connectivity, multiple function buttons, and presumably the first Wear device to launch with speaker and voice call capability. [/QUOTE]

Is this true at all? There's loads of filthy cheap chinese smartwatches you can put a sim card in and call with

Notice it says [I]the first Android Wear smartwatch[/I] with mobile data connectivity.
Those shitty chinese watches ran their own shitty little java OS, 9/10 times.

I'm well aware, it just stretches the imagination that it would be [i]the first[/i] given that the cheap shitty watches do it. 9/10 still leaves a lot of devices, by the way, when you only need 1 to match a requirement v:v:v
