LOL....here is the reply that I just received back from Samsung Technical Support regarding 'my concerns' above:

Dear Glenn,

Thank you for your inquiry. There is no real difference between the two to be honest we at Samsung usually update the name of the update as far as drivers are concerned so we have to change the name but if you have any additional questions call Samsung at 1-888-987-4357.

Sincerely,

Technical Support

Painless upgrade...Finally got rid of the evil chirp from the last upgrade GPS is working too

Not just 32 bit... but if you use XP it needs to be SP2. I tried it on an SP3 machine and it did not work. The Samsung Modem driver installed fine, but what was supposed to be shown in Device Manager was not there. After talking with Samsung support, Tier 2 said that only SP2 for XP, and only SP1 for Vista would work with this upgrade. Made a partition and installed XP on my laptop, got all the drivers sorted and the updates installed, and it works.
