I haven't downloaded the 'toolbar' for Outlook yet.

Plaxo can synchronize data between Outlook, Google, MSN, MacOS, etc but it won't synchronize with a Blackberry. That is to say it won't update the BB's Contact, etc databases but instead lets you visit a Plaxo mobile website where you can see your data. No very impressive.
But Plaxo can be used to sync various desktops/web databases if you have a need for it. Be careful however. These sites that synchronize contact data (including email addresses) got a bad rap a couple of months ago by taking all your contact emails and sending everyone an email telling them you are on their system and inviting them to join.
I don't think Plaxo did this but I do remember now and again their system asking me if I wanted to invite everybody in my contact list. And if your not paying attention you could inadvertently spam all your contacts.
