Cody21- Also, you missed the whole point ... I want to sync on a daily basis between Outlook and the Droid X. What you described was just a one-time export from Outlook to Google and then sync'ing between Google and the Droid. Not at all what I need to accomplish.

Cody21 - I did the csv export from Outlook to Google and into the Droid X. It didn't work cleanly since it merged several independent contacts from Outlook (and in the csv export file) into one contact on the Droid. example: for many companies, they have locations in many cities, so I set them up as follows...Company=Verizon...LastName=OH-Columbus or OH-Cleveland, or TX-Austin, NJ-Trenton ... Each being separate and distinct contacts in Outlook. Similarily: Company=DominoPizza...Last name=OH-Columbus or OH-Cleveland or MI-Detroit, etc. Again, each being a separate and distinct contact in Outlook. I think you get the picture. Well when they showed up in the Droid, I only had ONE CONTACT "OH-Columbus" and within that contact, I had a dozen phone numbers, followed by a dozen addresses followed by a dozen company names. No easy way to tell which number went to which address or to which company. Same problem with OH-Cleveland, MI-Detroit, TX-Austin as all contacts with the same last name were merged into one contact on the Droid. ALSO...if you delete a contact from Google Contacts, it DOES NOT delete the contact from the Droid! So full sync'ing really doesn't work.

eMail can go BOTH to the Droid and Outlook. But be aware that one side doesn't know about the otherside. ie IF you read it on the Droid, it will still look like it is unread in Outlook (and visa versa). Also, deleting the eMail on one side will not delete it on the otherside. In other words, you have to do double maintenance on all your emails.
