If all you are interested in is Email there is not much point in moving to Outlook. However Outlook has many other functions including crucially an accessible calendar, which with some tweaking, is excellent. It also had a journal, as you say contacts and Tasks management features.
It also has a notes function. Outlook is designed to work with active sync which enables you to synchronise content with mobile devices. I used to use this with a Pocket Hal enabled PDA to transfer notes into my PC version of Outlook but to be honest did not find it that smooth and there were frequent problems with connection and synching. As Outlook is such a leading standard application I imagine that most mobile devices will have a synchronisation feature set up to work with Outlook but somebody else should probably advise you on this.
