Iphone stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to ios 6

I went to update my iphone but did not have enough free memory for the update. I got a message up saying it was in recovery mode so I need to restore it but when I click restore the only option is 'restore and update' but of course it won't update because I don't have the memory. I have tried restoring it anyway many times, restarting it many times, turning it off and back on, resetting it, unplugging it and plugging it back in, the lot and nothing works. When I unplug it from itunes my phone just turns off. Is there a way to restore it but not update it? I don't want to download dodgy applications off the internet please.
