No idea but the WiFi Kindle has a serial number that Amazon doesn't have listed as a 3G Kindle. So I'm kind of doubtful that even if you get everything connected properly, you'll be able to establish Whispernet over the 3G. WiFi Kindles and 3G Kindles have different coding on the serial numbers B006___ and B008___ I think.

If it were me and I didn't mind the risk of having two destroyed and worthless Kindles. I'd be more apt to tear apart the WiFi Kindle and replace the chewed up parts on the 3G.
