I can't afford an iPhone, should I get an iPod?

I need a new phone and I really want an iPhone but they are too expensive! Should I get an iPod and a Samsung galaxy ace 2 or something else? Please suggest me good (cheaper than iPhone) phones. I really want the new Samsung galaxy S3, but that's even more expensive than the iPhone -.

I have the windows phone. I swear by it, it's MUCH cheaper, and i prefer it to my previous iPhone.

You Should not buy anything. SAVE THE MONEY so you can get that iPhone.

Nokia

IPhone's not as good as you might think they are. I would get an iPod 4 (which are about £150 brand new) or if you have an extra £100 or more then get an iPod 5, it's virtually the same as the iPod 4. There are millions of different phones out there! If you want an iPhone then I'm guessing you want a touch screen phone? There are loads of good makes like HTC and the windows phone. But please avoid BlackBerrys! Those phones have a mind of their own and the mouse stops working on them and they freeze all the time. Good luck and I hope you get a good phone your happy with.
