Outlook to Android Sync Options?

[Coucher]

At the end of the week, I'll be upgrading from a Touch Pro (Windows Mobile) to an Epic (Android). I've been a long time Windows Mobile user and rely heavily on Outlook for Contact & Calendar management and there doesn't seem to be a real clear solution to syncing Outlook to an Android device without losing some things.

I know to get the bare details of the contacts I can export to a CSV from Outlook, pull that in to a Gmail account, and then that will sync with the device, but what about contact photos stored in Outlook, addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, etc? If I update a contact from Outlook, how can I have it immediately sync to the Android device once it's connected to the PC? Or vice versa, I update an contact on the Android device, and then have it sync to the Outlook contact when the device is next connected to the PC. Same with the Outlook calendar. I'm constantly updating/changing/adding reminders & appointments using Outlook. I really don't want to have to change all of my contact/calendar management over to Google products just to use Android.

I've read about the HTC Sync software. What all will it sync? Will it work with a Samsung Epic device or is it restricted in some way to HTC devices?

I've stumbled upon this application, anyone have any experience with it?
