Is there a simple way to move from Mail, iCal, and Address Book to
Entourage?
Directions to import from Mail to Entourage are here:

For importing contacts, you can drag contacts from Address Book to the
Desktop, and then drag them into the Entourage Address Book list, but not
all of the information will come through correctly in most cases. If you
need a perfect transfer of contacts between Address Book and Entourage, use
Paul Berkowitz's "Sync Entourage-Address Book" script.

You can't import iCal information into Entourage.
And then, having done that, is it possible to use iSync direct from
Entourage to back-up to .mac and to synch with my T68i?
Since Entourage isn't compatible with iSync, you won't be able to back up
your Entourage information to .Mac. You could transfer your information
back to Address Book (using the script) and iCal (using File -> Import) when
you want to perform a synchronization with .Mac and then do so, but that's
not true synchronization.
However, you can synchronize your Entourage data to your phone. Jonas
Salling has a product called MobileSync that allows direct synchronization
of contacts and calendar events between Entourage X and Sony Ericsson mobile
phones. You can learn more about this product at his site:
Or, am I better off just staying with the way it is?
If direct synchronization with .Mac is important, then you need to stay
where you are. If you can live without that, I'd recommend moving to
Entourage.
