For me, the Note is simply a very portable tablet. I can put it in my small bag along with an e-ink reader and have the best of both worlds with me at all times. A 7" tablet would be too large to do that.
I unlocked mine, and I *can* use as a phone via a T-Mobile pay per day plan, but I rarely use a cell phone period. Seriously, I probably make fewer than 20 calls per year on my Tracfone. Having the ability to download data occasionally or surf with the browser is great though. Mostly I just use on WiFi.
I'd love a Note 2, but I suspect I won't be able to get one until I can perhaps find used next fall. This one cost $225 used.
I love and need the high resolution, my eyes have trouble with low res devices. I can actually read quite comfortably on my Note for over an hour, if I use a theme with a grey background in Mantano.
I could see enjoying a larger tablet for primarily home use, but don't have one yet.
It doesn't surprise me at all that this size device is popular. I knew I wanted one when first I heard about it. Never dreamed we'd find one used at the price we did!
