I was told last week by a Verizon support rep who had just finished training on webOS that they had &#8220;closer to a half-million&#8221; due to a greater-than-anticipated Pre demand.  If the 600,000 unit report is correct, than Verizon could be planning on giving WebOS a greater push than originally anticipated, especially given that two new Verizon Pre Plus Valentine-themed ads that have been plastered all over primetime television lately (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FLh0gfMvJ7g\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nv4rGfbeiTI\">here<\/a>).
