I believe the only difference is the languages that come with the software. The actual software is identical.

Be advised that the latest firmware is only available on GW2, not GW1. [addsig]

Is that a recent change? I'm sure I got the last firmware update (R9K009)on GW1! - or is there another new one out now???

I agree with Sebby, the only difference is with the preinstalled languages, but it's rather odd how they've rolled GW1 back to the previous version. There's nothing wrong with the latest firmware apart from possible incompatibilities with the downloadable language packs & a problem with older versions of the pcsuite AFAIK. I've been using it since release with no problems.

At least with the current situation you have an easy chioce of firmwares via XS++...

I do wish SE would publish changelogs, then we might have a clue what's going on!!!

I wonder what SE's reasoning is behind having 3 different world generic fw's? I updated my p1i to GW2 just because my sim free p910 and m600 bought in the UK were GW2 but i wonder if SE do actually send the different fw's to different places.

I have recently updated my firmware on my P1i. It has the auto focus square, the broken autofocus icon, etc. Is this the latest update? It's R9K009. Is there a later firmware than this? And how can I tell if I'm running GW1 or GW2?

You should have the latest firmware version though (more - status, to check).
