Combined that with pervious model sales and your looking about 15 million or so, so far.

This is the 21st century. I want my damn holographic 3D projection display phone. I'll settle for that til we get telepathic communication.
Besides, according to Back to the Future 2, hover cars are suppose to be here in 2 years (2015). :p
Yup...most things that push the envelope get criticism.

Re: In what ways could BB10 compete with Note 2?
Most people use a headset or earphones to talk on their phones, especially if it's a larger phone. It has the advantage of keeping the hands free. So it doesn't have to be held up to the ear at all. I've seen the Samsung Galaxy Note, it's beautiful. It's like a larger version of the S3.But I am enjoying rocking my amazing Samsung Galaxy SIII, especially with Jelly Bean. I just sold all 3 of my Blackberries on Ebay for very good prices. Still quite a demand for the older models.

Re: In what ways could BB10 compete with Note 2?
The Note 2 is definitely a niche product. I actually have one and love the features. Since I'm getting older, my eyes don't like small screens anymore. With the Note 2, I don't have any issues seeing anything on the screen.
I've said many times, what would be perfect for me is if the PlayBook could make phone calls on its own. That could get me back to carrying just one device again. With it bridged to my 9700, it all goes everywhere with me, and I'm almost always wearing a headset when taking phone calls (usually so I can take notes at the same time). When used this way, it doesn't matter how big the screen is since it isn't being held up to the ear.

As for the OP, the L series and the Note 2 are for two totally different targets audiences. The L is an iPhone/GS3/Lumia 920 competitor. Right now the Note has kind of defined a segment, and the segment isn't really big enough in sales for too many people to jump into yet. HTC is rumored to be working on a similar device.
So, did you completely miss the miss point or what?..
The fact is, the original galaxy note first debut in November 2011. So in a one year time span both that device and it's successor has sold/shipped 15m units. Yeah, consider the device a niche by your own definition of the term, but If anything those numbers goes against any notion that it's a "fad". This is all considering the note2 has only been available for a month in the U.S. as of that writing.
If there is space in the market for the note to have its own segement as you say, and thrive (by any analytical outlook), then how is it a fad at all? I wouldn't even consider it even a niche, but that's just by my own perspective of what a niche is.
You don't call something relatively recently popular a fad just because you lack the perspective of its benefits. No. Instead you call something a fad because you have evidence of its popularity winding down, which you don't have. Quite the contrary the note series of devices are selling well, and have no indication of slowing down.

Question...if the Note is a fad shipping at 15 million, then what is the Playbook? How many units shipped?
