Flashing instructions can be found in the stickies at the top of the upgrade forums.
By "unlocked," he probably just meant SPL-unlocked, meaning you can flash ROMs without having to run the unlocker. He could have possibly meant carrier-unlocked as well (less likely), meaning you can use your phone with any carrier that uses whatever radio technology you have - either CDMA (no SIM card) or GSM (SIM card).
Apps are everywhere. Just search the forum for whatever you're looking for, and yo'ull probably find an app that can do it. In addition, all ROMs come with some apps cooked-in.
You install an app either by running it on the phone (if it is a .cab) or running it on your PC then connecting the phone to the PC with ActiveSync (if it is a .exe).

1) Yea, I must be on 6.5. the ebay page is closed now
2) I'll check them out.
3) Well, it is carrier unlocked, because I remember a guy asking if it was CDML. Apparently he unlocked it the day he shipped.
4) Is there any specific page for a list of apps? I'm not looking for anything, but if I have a list and see something I like, I'd take it.
5) So, same as I did before.
6) Thank you!
