1. Duplicates.
I use the old tried and true "clean up as I use my system" method.
2. About "risking" my contacts.
I use the old idea about backups. If I want to try something new I backup, try and if it fails, restore from backup.
I can only guess that folk want or "demand" that there is an app for that but for this, maybe there is not?

All,
I've searched on Google and I just emailed Sharon Vaknin, CNET Associate Editor, to see if anyone has any info on this company/Outlook add-in. I haven't found any reviews that seems to be legit but I'm looking for a LEGIT fix to duplicate Outlook contacts.

Outlook4Gmail is supposed to be a contact sync tool, for those of us whose company doesn't use Google Apps Sync or the Apple Cloud. Trying to eliminate duplicates, that keep creeping into contacts from trying to sync:
iPad to Outlook
iPhone to Outlook
Evo 4G to Outlook
etc...
Of course, I'm sure there are a plenitude of LEGIT companies headquartered in Belarus but I'm not willing to gamble with my 1700 or so contacts. How to know LEGIT from hacker....that's the question!
Any Feedback would be great!
