I was on OPT from August 2007 to August 2008.
From October 2007 onwards I am on H1b visa.
Which tax return should I file this year? 1040 or 1040 NR?
Thanks

Is this October 2007 or 2008?
When did you enter the U.S. on F1? Are you married?

You need to file Form 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843 one last time for 2008, as you have not yet met the Substantial Presence Test.
For 2009, you will file as a resident alien.
