I recently purchased a Nextel Blackberry 7520 off of eBay. I poped my SIM card in it and used it for about 2 weeks. I liked it alot but since I didn't have a Blackberry or data plan I couldn't do a whole helluva lot with it.

I've decided to get a Boost Starter Kit and use my Blackbery as a Boostberry. My understanding is that with Boost I could use a 3rd party browser, such as Opera Mini 3 which I already have installed, and other 3rd party apps, like iMobileMail or Ramble IM.

Is this essentially correct? Is there anything else I need to know? Do I need service books or anything else on the device to be able to use Opera Mini or other apps? Thanks everyone! And just FYI, I did search and research this a bit but just wanted to clarify my understanding.
