A question was just posted on the lists about this phone. A very nice looking Clear WE 500. I know nothing about it, just posting it for those who may be interested. Way above my budget! I have never seen one this clear, almost no yellowing at all. Very clean. The question was why it would be a field trial or prototype? I don't think it is. I think the seller is calling it that because of the "F" number.

That makes two on eBay at the same time. Not mine.

The one Harry posted is mould number 23G.

This one is mould number 24G

Entirely likely. Many don't know that F-codes were used for other purposes than field trial sets -- as we have discussed before...
