Orange contract

I am currently on an orange 24 month contract, with 16 months to go. However, I hate my phone (blackberry bold 9790) and instead I'd like an iphone. Orange have recently change the price of my contract (its gone up - only by about 86p) does this mean that they have breached the terms of my contract? I really want out of this contract! And if they have breached the terms, how would I get out of it?
Thanks :D

    It is not a breach of terms, there are couple of threads re this. On phone, can't do links, but am sure someone might.

    So, no, you cannot get out of your contract because of it and if you have 16 months to go, you won't be eligible for an upgrade either. I'm afraid you're stuck.

    Sell Blackberry, add some money and buy iPhone. As simple as that.

    I've considered this, my blackberry would only sell for about £120 and I don't have £400 to add to it :(

    Well, this means that you simply can't afford a new top of the range iPhone, even on a contract.
    I think for £150ish you can get a decent second hand one. Your BB isn't new either after all.
