I'd be surprised if it's not available even cheaper through other channels, you can certainly buy it cheaper here in Australia on ebay.
(I bought the successor to the Ideos, the Huawei Sonic, for $188AU last week. My previous smartphone was an iPhone 3GS, and the Sonic compares very favourably to it - even before you consider price.)
Newegg sells it for $140. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875606...
