Dunno Bob, it was released only a month or so ago - is free of riplock, can
use DVD-RAM(5x/5x)

From NEC:

In addition, all components of the ND-3550 are "lead-free" and therefore
already comply with the statutory recycling standards of tomorrow (coming
into effect on Jan 1, 2006).

This is the only difference between the 3540 and the 3550.

According to the thread here:

3550 can be crossflashed to the 4550.
