Please check this out for more details > http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/IMEI IMEI blocking is only relevant for mobile phones -- the N810 is not a phone and doesn't have an IMEI. By the way, IMEI blocking only works in some countries. There is a reasonable description of it at http://www.solidblogger.com/block-lost-mobile-imei-no/ (although that is for India, but it works the same way anywhere it is implemented). But bear in mind that even where IMEI blocking does work, it only stops the phone connecting to the GSM network. It does not stop the thief having full access to all the other functions (including accessing any data on the phone and copying it off using WiFi or Bluetooth). It also does not work (in most cases) outside the country -- so a thief (or a subsequent buyer of the phone) can use it on a network in another country. In this case, your best hope is that when the thief realises it is not actually a mobile phone he throws it away.
