What's the development environment like? I know you can use Java ME, but is that it?

The SDK is much like Android's. That is, it implements the full java language, then provides J2ME classes as well as its own Java packages.
The J2ME stuff is there so it can run old apps, but when you're writing a BlackBerry app, you typically use the net.rim.blackberry.* classes, as they provide a ton of extra functionality, UI etc (similar to how on Android you use the android.* classes)
