Default Nexus S 4G & Epic 4G hardware differences?

Outside of the physical keyboard and NFC (obviously). What are the key differences between the Nexus S 4G and the Epic 4G ?

Is it possible to install a Nexus S 4G ROM on to the Epic?

Is it the same CDMA / Wifi / WiMAX / Hummingbird SoC ?

It has a curved screen and different camera hardware. Not a trace of Samsung crap baked into it either hopefully (a la Tmobile G2).

No you cannot install a Nexus rom on your Epic.

yes/yes/yes/yes/yes/yes/yes/

DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL A NEXUS S ROM ON YOUR EPIC. I think camera is different than ours

Everything is faster and I love the blank canvas you get right out of the box. Also don't forget about the 1st day updates!!!
