This is how I have everything setup.

Personal (iMac and Macbook iCal)->Google Calendar

Contacts: Gmail Contacts

Mail: Shaw POP, my website POP,->Gmail

Phone: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google contacts set up as Exchange service to push to iPhone.

So in short, I have all three of my computers push data to my Google services and my phone is set up to have data pushed to it from Google.
Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with what you're doing at all ... but this is kinda what I meant when I said there are cheaper ways of doing it, but mobileme can be a bit cleaner. It's the same reason I tend to buy stuff from my apple tv instead of downloading them via bit torrent, I'll pay a premium for ease of use.
