Don't know the answer to this one, I get the impression that it has a 
few minor hardware revisions.

The SIP code is the same for the two phones, as far as I can see the 
only difference is the 4 extra lines you can configure. I've got a 
couple of 7940 phones and one SNOM 100, I think I'll be sticking with 
the Cisco product as it seems to be more reliable and generally just 
works better.
