If you click on the link that takes you to the summary of the things that
are not supported, you'll see that all of the items are
language-specific. That is, they are things that are defined by the
language, rather than .NET.

The main difference is that the VB language includes built-in
functionality that isn't supported on the CF. C# doesn't have any of its
own i/o features, but instead relies entirely on the .NET Framework. So
there's nothing in C# that would have been left out; C# didn't have the
features that were left out of VB for the CF in the first place.
I would say that if anything, it appears to me that when using the CF,
programming in VB is a lot _more_ like C#, since you are forced to use the
.NET features rather than the language's built-in features. This is a
normal state of affairs in C#, even when not specifically targeting the CF.
For more specific help, you may want to post to the Compact Framework
newsgroup, since that seems more directly applicable to your question.
