Answer 1

unfortunately no.  They are two different technologies.  mobile is CDMA and Nextel is iDen.  They are not compatible.

Answer 2

Only SOME of Boost Mobile's phones are CDMA.  The rest are iDEN, too.  As long as the Nextel phone is unlocked, then you would be able to use it with a Boost Mobile sim card, but you will not be able to use internet or picture messaging unless you know someone who can change those settings to Boost Mobile's settings.  Calls and text messaging will still work.
