If you're buying new, you'd be hard pressed to find a T1i at a retail outlet. You'd be able to find T2i's brand new. Both are great cameras to get started with. Nikon D3100 is also a great starter camera if you want to go even cheaper, and the D5000/5100 being the step up (and closer to a T2i in terms of specs).
Personally, as you're new to it all, I'd buy a used setup. There are a ton of people who get into it, buy brand new, and end up selling after a few months because they realized it was just a phase for them. At the very least, buy a used body, and invest your money on lenses if you think you may be in it for the long haul. That's where you'll see tangible differences in your pictures.
