Anticipation is growing for Apple's next smartphone -- the iPhone 5 -- and while the company is as tight-lipped as ever, one needs only to look at rivals for hints of what might be included.

Apple is a couple of steps away from announcing the arrival of the most anticipated iPhone 5 to the U.S smartphone market after a long cacophony of rumors about its release date and expected specifications.

Here are five reasons RIM and its BlackBerry smartphones may die.

Here is the list of a few features that the smartphone will not arrive with although they are deemed necessary.
