If it's any consolation, I am using Entourage '04 with iPhone and MobileMe and sync works 100% with contacts and bookmarks, and about 97% with calendar. The calendar problem appears to be some sort of time zone bug (in what app, I don't know), but it only affects "all-day" events within MobileMe. The Entourage and iPhone calendars sync fine as long as the events are scheduled in Entourage or are not "all-day" events.
My method for setting everything up was to start with one computer that had all the correct data in Entourage, then push that data to iCal. After I combed through both of those apps to verify that everything was right, I then turned on MobileMe sync and pushed the data to MobileMe from my Mac. Only then did I add the iPhone. Personally, I would avoid "merge" like the plague. The calendar sync problem I'm having may be due to the fact that I'm still using Ent. '04 under OS 10.4.11. I'm preparing to upgrade to current versions of everything as soon as I get all my ducks in a row, so we will see what that does.
