I love my IPAQ Pocket PC 4155, but it was a bit pricier as I wanted integrated bluetooth and wifi.

You can get a wifi-enabled Axim X30 for under $200 from the Dell Outlet . I had some problems with mine initially, but installing the latest updates fixed it.

There are a couple of HP Ipaq's that have built in Wi-Fi, but they are on the higher end of the price range as well.
Another option is look for a lower cost PDA unit and a SD Wi-Fi card. This would accomplish the same thing. Again, you have may trouble meeting the $250 price limit.
One more thing: we are only discussing hardware here. Wi-Fi access availability varies from place to place. Some places offer it for free, others (like Starbucks/T-Mobile) charge for it. Keep that in mind also.

Treo 600
Not sure if the Treo 600 has come down in price (from $500)...
I used my Treo 600 (with AT&T Wireless voice/data/internet plan) in London this past weekend, and worked as if I was at home. Used it to access various websites (Yahoo!, USA Today, ual.com, etc).
