Verizon has provided a price and release date for Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 was confirmed to be part of the Verizon brand in January during the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), but new information has been announced after the tablet made it through U.S. Cellular.

Carrier U.S. Cellular confirmed the Galaxy Note 10.1 late February with a price tag of $499.99 for the 16GB model, but Verizon is offering the 4G LTE tablet at a higher cost.

Starting March 7, Verizon Wireless will carry the Galaxy Note 10.1 for $599.99. Users can add the tablet to Verizon's "Share Everything" account for an additional $10. According to the Washington Post, prepaid plans range from $20 per month for 1GB of data to $80 for 10GB of data.
