I've done this myself with my Pearl purchased from the US back in April 2007 and it has/still works perfectly.

In my situation I have set it up for personal email through BIS and for corporate email/calendar/address book/to do list/memo through BES and had no problems at all.

My work's IT department informed me that setting up this device was just like setting up a device purchased direct via Telstra.

Only issues I have had has been getting the WAP set up to work (need to set up under the US carrier profile), and on some calls there is a 3 second delay before they first hear you when the call connection is made. This is only on calls received, not made.

Due to the current exchange rate I'm now looking at upgrading my 8100 to a 8110 (GPS version) and will definately be purchasing from the US again via eBay. Based on current prices I'm confident I can get an unlocked 8110 for $350 including freight. Sure beats $600 RRP here in Australia!
