status changed from resident alien to non-resident alien

I was under F1 from Aug 2002-May2007, OPT from June 2007 to Sep 2007 and now on H1-B from Oct 2007. I am married and my wife's status changed from F2 to H4. My questions are,
1. Am i considered as a dual-status(resident alien from Jan to Sep and non-resident alien from Oct to Dec)?

2. Which forms should I use?

3. Can I jointly file with my wife?

Your help is appreciated
