I do something similar with Google contacts. On my iPhone, I just set up
Gmail and then make sure contacts is turned on. On my PC, I run
Thunderbird and use a plug in called GContactSync. I can just edit and
add contacts in Thunderbird's address book and then hit the GContactSync
-> Sync option to sync everything up. I haven't checked, but their may
be plugins for Outlook to sync with Google Contacts as well.

Personally I prefer to use a cloud based email service and my preference is
Outlook.com from Microsoft. It uses Exchange Active Sync and if you use it
you just set up your email account on the iPhone as a Microsoft Outlook
account, all you need to provide are your @outlook.com or @hotmail.com etc.
email address and password, then turn on Mail, Contacts and, if you want,
Calendars and it will all sync. On your PC you would use Outlook 2010 and
install the free Outlook Connector or, if you use Office 2013 the
functionality is built in and once again you just provide your Outlook.com
email and password when you set up your email account in Outlook.
All your email and Contacts are kep in the cloud, if you ever get a new PC
or new iPhone or maybe you buy an iPad down the road, all you do is set up
your account and all your emails and contacts will sync to your new device,
you never lose anything if your device breaks or is stolen.

Subject: What options for syncing contacts to PC
I have recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I previously
used the Windows address book to manage my contacts and then just
synced to my iPhone. Now, with Windows 7 I guess there is no address
book and no equivalent? What are my options for entering new contacts
without doing it directly on my iPhone contacts?
Thanks,
Jeff
