Heres another 2 cents worth.
If you have a budget of only a couple of hundred dollars and are a real beginner, don't buy a telescope at all. Get yourself a decent set of binoculars, a good star atlas and spend some time learning about the night sky.
Binoculars can show a lot, and can be used for other activities as well. If you want to play with a few diferent telescopes, join an astonomy club and other people will give you the opportunity to test the water before you buy a more substantial instrument.
Small steps, less distance to fall.
