Note: Vendor shipments are branded shipments and exclude OEM sales for all vendors.

Does this mean the Orange San Francisco and other aliases of the Blade are not included in the numbers?

ZTE boosted its annual shipments by 94 percent, stealing Apple's recently-won fourth place position globally and, in doing so, knocking RIM straight into the dreaded "others" category.

In doing so, the Chinese manufacturer also bumped RIM off of the top 5 list for the quarter and, more alarmingly perhaps, for the full year.

from the IDC press Release mentioned above

ZTE finished the quarter in the number four position with shipments steadily spreading from its home country of China to developing regions such as Africa and Latin America. ZTE has also recently made inroads in developed markets such as Western Europe and the U.S. as well as Japan. While most of its shipments have historically concentrated on entry-level and mid-range devices, some of its recent success is directly attributable to its rapidly expanding smartphone line, such as the Android-based Blade and Racer devices. Meanwhile, its S- and C-series entry-level feature phones provided additional competition within emerging markets.

Blade is included.

Looking at the corresponding figures reported by IDC this time last year, the manufacturers displaced from last year's top five are Sony Ericsson and Motorola (replaced by ZTE and Apple). RIM entered the top five for a few quarters in 2010, but didn't make it for the whole year.
