My best advice is to stay away from the 61-key keyboards because eventually you will need more notes. 88 keys are best, but it would be very difficult to find one in your price range.

The 76-key Casio WK-200 has a bit of a cult following among musicians and is well within your price range. It does have the "organ" feel keys that Johnny mentioned, but for me personally, that is a plus. (I have lousy technique!) Check out the reviews on Amazon.
