Article popped up with note 3 news this morning. I wouldn't bet on US getting F series right away though, so wait might be a good while until release.

Ohhh...now it makes sense. After I read this article
Galaxy Note 3 With Flexible Display Rumoured: Waterproof and dustproof as well
Note 3 Active makes much more sense of "limited" version. And, I do remember a leak/report earlier on in the summer where they showed a fcc diagram with a different design from the Note 3 that resembled more of the Galaxy S4 Active.
Now I wonder if there will be a carrier exclusive for the Note 3 Active (if that ends up being the flexible screen version).
Heh...doesn't matter for me. I don't need an active version, but I know people that would get it on Sprint without a doubt.

Glad it's not the completely bendable screen yet:
Samsung
If it's not in the "Note" family w/ the s-pen, then my interest isn't quite as much as it once was. I'm sure that Samsung is looking at YOUM for the Note series at some point later down the line (who knows when), but until then, I'll be enjoying my Note 3.
That said, I know the idea of a 6 inch screen is something that would peek a lot of people's interests, that were looking for a "bigger" screen w/ high end specs.

Timing will be absolutely perfect!
Samsung looking to launch devices with ‘folding displays’ by 2015 | SamMobile
I'll have another upgrade available to me in July (although, the only thing that would make me jump to a Note 4 is same form factor as the Note 3 and 64gb internal), if I want to use it, but 2015 is exactly what I was hoping for. By then, Sprint will have hopefully caught up and be finished with Network Vision (including integration of tri-band LTE) and the Folding Note will be ready to go for production! I'm hoping that my next upgrade will be for a "true" convertible phone/tablet, just like their mock commercial last year. I'll be very disappointed if they go beyond 2015, as it has been mutliple years since Samsung first introduced the concept of flexible screen technology.

Patents were filed for different types of flexible screen scenarios, so I really hope that means they are very close to offering production units. I don't mind waiting until 2015, as long as the wheels are closer to being in motion than they have been in the past couple years.

Will be the norm in a couple of years time.
I remember Nokia ( who? ) talking about this a few years ago.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read articles of both Nokia and Samsung having early renders of flexible screen technology a few years back. I know that Samsung has been working on the flexible screen technology for at least 5 years, from everything I remember reading.
