Yes. Several of us use Boost Mobile, and it has been discussed numerous times in the fora, mostly by YouDude, the resident expert. See the thread, "iDEN dial up networking with the N800 via Bluetooth", for example.

At 19.2k, streaming is out, but email and IM can work. Web browsing, particularly with Flash and images disabled, is also possible, though not overly enjoyable.

Skweezer has been suggested as a way to make the best of the limited available bandwidth.

Oh, and you won't need that $0.35/day web access plan for tethering.
