Blackberry Pearl and Windows Vista

Just a quick check to see if anyone has had any experiences with upgrading
to Windows Vista and compatibility with your Blackberry Pearl? In my case
it would be the Home Premium version, upgraded from XP Media Center. I
have the most recent RIM software updates via the T-Mobile site.

I see in running the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor tool that there are two
entries that pop up:

"There is no compatibility data available for this device. For more
information, go to the device manufacturer's website or Windows
Marketplace, or contact your retailer."

The first entry is listed as "RIM Virtual Serial Port v2" and the second
simply "BlackBerry Device."

I know it's possible there would be no problem at all, but would feel
better if I knew of others experiences with this upgrade first. Can't bear
the idea of not being able to sync my calendar, etc.

I get the version of Vista essentially for free ($10 shipping) because I
bought a new Dell computer back in November.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
