This has probably already been told or touched on, but I have never heard or read anything on the "atlas"...

I have always heard people saying that the essex could be the tours replacement until i came across this site...

RIM BlackBerry Atlas (Phone Arena)

New Tour would be called Essex.

I always though the Atlas the the Tour w/o camera. Hadn't really seen anyting to say otherwise. The Essex would be the updated device in the Tour lineup, from what I understand.
