WSJ has been pretty on-target with the validity of their sources when it comes to the iPhone, if I recall correctly. While many other outlets can speculate about a new iPhone come summertime, if it's been printed in the Wall Street Journal, it's about as good as hearing it from Apple. Likewise, with the CDMA-iphone bit - if it doesn't come out, it'll be because it was killed off internally between then and now, not because the WSJ published incorrect information.

So basically the only news here is that the Wall Street Journal is now printing rumours.

In short: No, these aren't rumors.
