They are similar (there is some sort of forking relationship between
the projects).
I've found gammu suits me better, because it has:
python bindings (albeit incomplete) so I can script a bit better,
unicode support,
some filesystem support (I've never been able to get gnokii to do
anything sensible with the filesystem on my phone).
Wammu is a front-end for gammu (similar to xgnokii).
