Once your BB is plugged into the USB port, launch Desktop Manager. From the main menu, look in the top right corner of the application for "Help". Click Help, then Device Properties. The fifth item down (Application Version) will be your OS version.

First: Welcome to CrackBerry!
Second: You should start your own thread rather than post on someone else's. It's poor etiquette, and you will get better results with your own thread.
Third: You do not have to use your carrier's "official" OS, but it does have to be for your specific model (9700). The latest official 9700 OS is .442, that's what I'm running. It is actually from Zain Jordan, not AT&T or T-Mobile. I would read threads commenting on .442 and see if it is worth it to upgrade for you. Personally, I always upgrade to the newest official OS. I don't usually bother with leaked OSs unless they get very positive responses from people. It's a personal preference, really.
If you are running .330, I would recommend upgrading. Battery is much improved in .442, and there are several other smaller tweaks.
