Acoustic vs Electric is really a matter of personal preference. I happen to be a sucker for acoustic guitars, so that's what I bought. If you want something that won't hurt your fingers, you could even try a classical acoustic. They have nylon strings, so they don't leave your fingers feeling sore after you get done playing. If you have any friends who have guitars, see if they'll let you play theirs a bit, so you can get a feel of the different kinds of guitars out there & see if you have a preference.
I'd suggest looking for a guitar made by either Gibson or Fender. And definitely change the strings right away when you get it, because the factory strings are always really cheap.
ADDING TO WHAT I JUST SAID:
Go to this website:

And look up Gibson (especially the Epiphones) & Fender guitars. Some of them are wicked expensive, and others fall within your price range. You can get cheaper guitars than that, of course, but you run the risk of getting a cheaply made guitar that won't have a very nice sound. Gibson & Fender are both famous for the excellent quality, which is why I suggested them.
You might also look on ebay as well. That's actually where I bought my guitar. The list price was over $500, but I got it brand new for less than $200.
