Are there any issues or problems with iPhone syncing with Outlook (locally, not Enterprise Server) on XP?

As no-one is answering, I'll let you know what I know.

I sync with Outlook 2003 on XP with no problems.

Calendar and Contacts sync fine. I don't try to sync my Outlook email accounts, but it's supposed to be perfectly possible. The iPhone doesn't have tasks , and your Outlook Tasks will not be synced. The iPhone has a basic note-taking app, but it doesn't sync with Outlook Notes.

I personally rarely create or edit calendar entries on the iPhone, I tend to use Outlook as the master, and iPhone as my portable copy. However, you can update in the phone if you want, and it does sync properly. Like any system with different copies of data, if you edit them both before syncing, you may create a mess. If you're creating a calendar entry on the phone, you won't have all the same recurrence options as Outlook.

I'm perfectly happy with how well it syncs, though it would be nice if Tasks synced too.
