Well, that's a trivial matter of firmware flashing, isn't it?

WiFi restriction does still stand, but a compromise is in the works. China may allow WiFi on handhelds if they also support the China-developed WAPI. Two standards on one chip. I've never understood though, why are laptops allowed to support WiFi in China but not mobile phones?

The WiFi restriction on phones still stands in China. The Chinese firmware of the Sony Ericsson C905 does not have WiFi available although all other international versions do have this feature.
