I really like the leaked 5.0 version. It has been the most stable so far and it's faster. If you can find it i would recommend installing it. Just remember to disable your security encryption if it's enabled or your phone will just reset over and over.
Enjoy your new 9530 for a few more days. With the Storm 2 coming out any day, I'm sure a 5.0 ? will be posted for an update in the OS. The current 4.7 you have now is the latest from Verizon.
Im a huge fan of 4.7.0.167, faster, better memory management than .148 and not as buggy as some of the 5.0 builds. Im gonna wait for an official 5.X til i upgrade, have tried all the 5.0s and just not very happy with them, .230 obviously being the best of them all though.
So I've done a lot of the OS updates without ever having problems. This is my first time ever having an issue and haven't seen a post on any forum to help. I've downloaded and installed the Full .230 OS file but App Loader has an asterisk next to the Version 5.0 option when I go in to update my device. The Asterisk is followed by this message:
"Only active Blackberry Service Subscribers are entitled to install this Blackberry Device Software upgrade."
When I try to upgrade it just doesn't do it. All I get is a link to Blackberry.com. Any ideas folks? I'm on Verizon.

Make sure your mobile network is on under manage connections
When Verizon sends out an OS update where is the notification sent? Does a message get sent to the phone or do you have to check App Manager for OS updates?
I have gone straight from .148 to .230 and I love it. The only issue that I have run into was on install I got an error message after it installed my third party app. I had to do about three battery pull then everything worked. Also vz nav was not talking but that got resolved with a reinstall.
Mac i think that you might have dl a bad file or you may have been kicked off the network. lol.
