Don't you have a backup of your 1700 or so contacts? Then trying a program isn't gambling, because you can always restore the backup. Having no backup, that's what I call gambling.
As an alternative: copy your contacts to another Windows account and try any program there. If something goes wrong, it's just a copy and you can overwrite it with the original to try the next program.

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.

Headquarters:
Scand Ltd
8-501 Fabritsiusa Str.,
220007 Minsk, Belarus
Tel./ Fax: +375 (17) 256-07-76
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 and all USEFUL FEEDBACK will be greatly appreciated!

One respectful source here, http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/Mail-Utilities/Outlook4Gmail.shtml show 164 downloads with "pass" for basic threats. It seemed to have significant function upgrades with bug fixes during summer of 2011. Shall we try this exploration?
Alternative seems to be Sync2 at cost for MS certified.
