Default Easy way out of a phone contract?

Hi all

I've got an N96, just over a year into the 2 year contract. To cut a long story short, my first phone's earpiece stopped working within a couple of weeks, was repaired and returned with same fault. Sent for repair again, and returned with a wobbly slider. Sent away again and was given a replacement (but second hand) phone from the repairers.

January this year I cracked the screen (100% my fault) so it was sent off for repair and I paid the insurance excess. Last week the screen randomly died, so it went for repair again. It has now been returned with screws missing so its slacker than a 200,000 mile Vectra taxi's gearbox.

So 2 phones I have had have been away 5 times (once to repair damage I caused though) and it just seems that Vodafone send it to the local primary school to have it fixed. Seeing that I also wouldn't mind being out of the contract as I rarely use it and its just a bit of a waste of money, do you think I've got grounds for getting out of the contract early?

Cheers

Rich
