Not too much to ask for wifi. Battery wouldn't really be a problem - I use an iPaq in my house with a wlan and it goes for 2 hours or so - same battery technology as the p800. I try to browse with BT on the p800 because the Opera deal blows crapola PPC IE away. But the minute the cat walks between the handset and the dongle the signal drops.
The Opera browser was a major selling point for this contraption. GPRS is still difficult due to high costs and the 10m range for BT is pretty damn well useless if you live in a 100m2 apartment, so the Opera browser for how glorious it is does not fully grab its potential. So yes, if it's truly a 'connectivity device' then it needs wifi. In 2 years it will seem like a real early 2000 anachronism if they don't integrate wifi.
Hell I live in Paris and they're currently wiring the whole damn city for wifi. In a year or so you'll be able to connect on the Metro, on the bus, on the corner, in the brothel.. wherever. Better get some damn wifi into this unit or I'm looking elsewhere! GPRS or 3g or UMTS or big booty connectivity will have some serious competition if everywhere is browsing on 802.11 and not some joke radio network that some phone company paid $200b for and had to custom rig to get it to work..

But a 100m2 apartment is 10m by 10m. Even if it was 5m by 20m, the pc being in the middle of the apartment would solve problems?

Ericsson are the pioneer for BT specs 1.2 - which mixes 802.11b and BT.
I think they will come out with chips that are dual mode (support both modes).
IMO, 802.11b support will make this a killer phone and move many iPaq followers onto the SE/Symbian pack.

BT 1.2 is NOT dual-mode. However it is designed for better interoperability (i.e., less interference) with WiFi and other systems operating at 2.4GHz.

Why not have DAB support? lt makes sense it can allow full stream sound and video @ 128kbps and DAB transmiters have a huge range compared to Wi-Fi. Truly a underated media for mobile devices.
