My GF have a Samsung Galaxy ACE, just a few days ago when I connect the phone to kies it says that there is a firmware update for it, I didn't do it cause I dunno if it'll delete anything on the phone / memory card

1) will updating firmware delete anything on the phone?
2) any other downsides I should be aware of before I update?
3) any benefits at all updating??

1) Usually it will ask if you want to remove previous data
2) ALWAYS backup your data, be it sms, contacts, etc...
3) usually firmware update will improve user experience, battery optimisation, etc..

Make sure you are running stock firmware with locked bootloader.

In your familiar PC term:
Locked bootloader - unmodified bios
unlock bootloaded - OCed bios
root andriod - administrative account in windows
custom kernal - modified windows settings

don't take it 100%, it is just similarity.
