Hi bewrong -

*Yes, the phone runs in dual boot. If you have your keyboard out when booting it will give you a menu to choose from, if the keyboard is closed it defaults to Maemo.

*Yes, it can be uninstalled. The easiest way that Ive heard to do this would be to uninstall the bootmenu program and then simply reformat your microSD card.

*When messing with low level settings like boot options or a new OS there is always a risk of bricking your phone. Most of the tutorials even have that warning highlighted in bold or red to make sure we all knew the risk before proceeding.

Hope that helps...
