GMail contact synchronising

I'd like to have my GMail contacts synchronise with my Outlook contacts, with the goal of keeping all my data up to date and providing a backup of my phone contact list (which also syncs with Outlook). The caveat I would like to attach, however, is that any contact that is just an email address - especially if it doesn't have a human name attached to it - should stay in the GMail address book and not be copied over. I can live with email-only contacts in my Outlook address book, I suppose, but I have no use for them in my phone. I also need a chance to match entries together before they are duplicated for me. I don't want every "Dave/David" and "Pete/Peter" repeated in every address book.

PS - Apple recently introduced GMail address book sync to the Mac OS X address book.
PPS - But only if you own an iPhone, or know the work around.
