It's actually a lot simpler. Outlook doesn't need to be aware only handshake. Itunes does all the work communicating to Outlook or the Windows Address Book(wab), retrieving and sending to the Ipod or Iphone.
Toggle on the Contacts/Calendar option on the Ipod or Iphone to make respective menu option available. Plug/connect an Iphone or Ipod to a pc, open Itunes, select the Ipod or Iphone in Itunes/Devices..toggle on Contacts for Outlook(all contacts, selected groups etc).....Its done. No more settings ever again. Connect in the future, everything is automatically updated.
Other options are available if a Mac or other email clients are used.
The phone then becomes an extension for email, phone etc..
I tested one for 2 months for a local firm...It's actually a nice piece of equipment(overrpriced at the time, limited to ATT network for phone etc). Is it ready to replace the PDA/Blackberry..almost, but not yet.
