Can I use an unlocked iphone on Boost Mobile?

I have the $50 unlimited plan with Boost and I was wondering if I could "pop" my sim card into a unlocked iphone. I searched the questions allready on Yahoo answers but I am seeing sellers note that their unlocked iphones will work with Boost on ebay... here are a few examples...

    Some sellers will say anything in order to sell their phones. The iPhone will NOT work on Boost Mobile. The phones that Boost has that use sim cards are iDEN(some don't and are CDMA), not GSM, which is what the iPhone uses. Nextel/Boost Mobile's iDEN network is not compatible with GSM phones. GSM phones can only be used on GSM networks and iDEN phones can only be used on iDEN networks.

    You cannot Unlock Because Boost is CDMA..For Unlocking I-Phone Locked GSM Network Call the service provider.
