I am afraid I don't know. I know the one I bought is grey with blue buttons.

The model with color buttons called Chat and Count "Smart Phone" on the box is the latest version. It's available with Scout puppy for boys or Violet puppy for girls.

The multicolored-button one, with a screen that actually lights up. I've got both the current and the earlier version with a screen that does not light up. Baby vastly prefers the one with the lighted screen.

The gray with the blue buttons is the last one I purchased. I have the other model that you describe. I bought that one several months earlier. On that one the sound is very low.

I did purchase both phones (baby's home and grandma's home). I think the differences are not so much that one is more up-to-date or 'newer' but....one is a purple color with a character named Violet and the other is a blue and green color with a character named Scout. I do not see any degree of difference other than a male/female indication. Hope this helps.

I didn't get this one, I got the black and cream color. I have, however, seen this other one at Babies R Us and it looks gray with cream. That being said, I cannot say that the one that is sold here will be the same. Good luck with your decision making.

The currently available version of this product features a dark brown background. The image you saw on the product page was of an older, discontinued version of the product that hasn't been available for some time. I've contacted Amazon support about the issue and the images should be corrected shortly. I have a high level of confidence based on my knowledge of this product line and the company that produces it, that buying it from any of the sellers currently offering it via Amazon.com will yield the current version. Of course, I am partial to Affordable Tech, Inc.

No idea - they are the same - but my daughter has the blue one and she didn't care - and it is still working great after several years of educational and fun play!

I learned something recently. The color is brown, like the switches, not orange. I recently saw a blue version with blue switches. Palm meet face! Who knew?

No it does not. It feels lighter than the Nintendo 64 controller as well. Basically it is the Nintendo 64 controller shell and a circuitboard in the middle. I bought both the grey and black. Great purchase in my opinion.

Digital keypad. Works quite well. Haven't tested with a disaster yet! Hopefully won't. So can't speak to how well the fire/water works.

This is a 3-button opener. Doesn't look anything at all like my keypad (which works fantastic, by the way)

Must be a newer version. My buttons and amperage display are not configured like the one in the picture.

I own a black and a grey version, and the look and feel of them differ. The on/off button is lower than on the grey version.

it's grey. However I won't recommend the item. Speaker does not work and keys are not original.

There are a lot of differences. The basic frame is the same, but the items that go on the frame as well as the pattern of the fabric and colors are different. It looks like you have a bird instead of a cloud, and the Keyboard unit for music looks very different. The other two activity inserts look very similar/identical. This item often has new versions released of it (my brother has the Baby Einstein Jumper from 2 revisions ago... prior to the too springy Sun Recall) This may just be a revised version.

No keypads and only 1 remote. About the newer version with the new blue circuit board. They are more problematic versus the older green version. I already had to exchange one due to the unit not charging the battery and the range on the newer board isn't as good.

They have the newer models coming out now. The whole stroller is a color instead of gray with *insert color.* I would love to know what the differences are!

I think it was new, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it matters. All these remotes have a design flaw. There is a ribbon cable that connects the main part to the slider breaks after a enough opening and closing of the sliding keypad. When they refurbish, they replace the broken ribbon with a new one. So I assume a refurbished unit would work as well as a new. It seems for most people the cable breaks in 6-12 months. Someone posted a link on an electronics site where you can buy a ribbon cable yourself and fix it yourself. I did this and it's a little tricky but doable. I actually haven't put batteries in yet to see if it works with the new cable since it's a spare at this point.
