Verizon has announced pricing for the Palm Pre Plus on the Verizon network.  One of the major features of the Palm Pre Plus will be the WIFI Hotspot features, a feature pretty familiar to HTC HD2 owners which allow smartphone owners to share their 3G internet connection via WIFI with devices close to them.

Enabling the feature will add an additional $40 charge for 5GB of data with this 3G-based Wi-Fi connectivity. The $40 charge is levied on top of your calling and data plan so a Wi-Fi mobile hotspot-activated Pre Plus on a 450 minutes Talk and Text plan would cost you a whopping $129.99 per month ($59.99 for calling plan, $29.99 for Email and Web data plan and $40 for the Wi-Fi feature).

Launching the Palm Pre on Verizon was supposed to save Palm.  Somehow in now rather seems unlikely.
