Contacts �flagged" in Outlook don�t pop up as reminders on a Curve?

I want to buy a Blackberry but it is crucial for me to know if the device has the following capability;

Is it possible to have contacts in that are Outlook pop up in the same fashion as calendar appointment reminders on a Blackberry when I have set a time for them to go off, i.e "flagged" them? I have tested this feature on a friend's Blackberry Curve by setting the time a flagged contact should appear in the "Reminders" window in Outlook on a desktop. But although a reminder shows up in Outlook it never shows up on the Blackberry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I set a reminder flag on a contact in Outlook. I got a reminder pop-up on the desktop, nothing on my 8830. I don't see anything in the contacts options about reminders. I don't believe that feature is supported on the blackberry.
