It's not just the features Amazon chose to put into the HD 6 and Fire Phone -- there's also the extra cost of building a phone (with the extra hardware (radio) not necessary in a tablet.) There's also the tendency to make phones thinner than the Fire tablets -- which also increases the price. (I've never really been able to understand super thin phones -- as they're almost always installed in relatively bulky cases anyhow.)
