I am in the same boat as you are, but I see that virtually every smartphone (except PalmOS of course) already syncs calendar, contacts, tasks, etc with Google ota so it seems that whatever happens in phone world, Google is a smart place to be. So I am migrating my info there.
I made csvs from my exported Outlook contacts (it takes a bit of cleaning-up though) and then I imported them into Google Contacts. It's a little glitchy in that Google contacts sometimes doesn't recognize the fields, but it seems to be OK now. I am going to update and add contacts into Google only.
I also stopped using Outlook tasks and started using Google tasks which I can get on my Treo through Google Mobile.
The calendar is tougher, but I sync my Outlook calendar to Google (and then Outlook to my Treo). That way it doesn't matter where I make the change, it syncs computer to Google, leaving only the phone sync which I do before leaving work each day. I can get the Google calendar on the Treo through Google Mobile, but I might die of old age waiting for it to load....
Bottom line, I was resistant, but now that I have done it, I see a huge value. Good luck.
Many folks have imported outlook contacts into google, only to have the outlook email addresses show up in google notes, and not the google email address field. Has anyone who has had this problem found a fix?
