The maximum amount of remaining time which can be added onto a new contract is 50 days before the end of your contract.
If your Blackberry is broken, take it into a Vodafone store to arrange for a repair or Google Blackberry repairs. By the sounds of things, this is accidental damage which is your fault and would not be covered under warranty and without insurance, would be chargeable.
Your other options would be to purchase a new phone at your own expense and carry on using your present contract or take out an additional line for a new phone and cancel your present contract when it expires at the end of the year.
You will be able to find how to get your phone repaired on the following link from the forum.
Paigekerry,
In your other thread you said that you were due for an upgrade in just under two months - two months is 60 days and as you are able to upgrade 50 days before the contract ends, I said you would be able to upgrade in 10 days. The maths is simple.
If however your upgrade is not due in just under two months, obviously the 10 day caculation is no longer valid.
lol 
Hi paigekerry,
They guys in our upgrades team can only speak with the account holder themselves for security, but until they see the account they wouldn't know that your name was not on there, which is why they would need to check before they could say they couldn't help.
As the guys have mentioned, the upgrade period is 50 days before the end of the contract, but I can see that Ian has responded to your most recent email today to arrange to call later in order to discuss options.
