hi, i just bought a N810W, and i'm planning to use it as portable mini computer, messing around with some stuff

while i wait for it to arrive, i have some questions, that some researches on internet didn't clear out

1) does the N810W have the same hardware of the N810, except for that WiMax thing (that i won't use)?
(this is because i want to use bootmenu and stuff like gentoo-for-n8x0, i'm basically asking if they'll work)

2) partially related to the first question, if i were to flash the N810 image on a N810W, would i brick it? or simply the wimax won't work anymore?
