Blackberry's been the subject of many a rumour this year, which has been good news for us and Blackberry devotees, because they've eventually turned out to be true. This gives us much hope for this little rumour concerning another touchscreen phone, called the Pluto. Could RIM be paying homage to Mickey's playful pooch pal? I very much doubt it, but seeing as there's absolutely no pictures available, this could still be a possibility (an unlikely one, but a possibility nonetheless).
So, possibly following close on the heels of the Blackberry Storm is a new touchscreen device, which also features a QWERTY keyboard to appease those who hate typing on a touchscreen. The Pluto will apparently be the same size and style as the Curve, so it sounds like they're not bringing anything new to the table in those departments. So perhaps the emphasis is going to be on its features, of which we have absolutely no information about, but an indication that they could be impressive.
Pluto isn't heading for us until Q3 or Q4 of next year, so there's no point holding out for it just yet. Why not opt for the Storm for now - it's impressive.

I think there is some confusion here. The BlackBerry Magnum will most likely be the touch screen Curve.
The BlackBerry Pluto will be a touch screen Bold.
This is according to a CrackBerry update:

Yes, another Blackberry touchscreen be on the way That is modified version of Blackberry Bold. RIM (Research in Motion) always tries to give some new and innovative to its users. That is why Blackberry handsets and Blackberry accessories remain in demand in the market.

There's so many Blackberry rumours, I'm about to go into Blackberry rumour overdrive. I'm starting to lose sense of what's real - there are so many contradictions! (aaarrrggghhh)
