    you need wifi in the phone for wifi to work. it's a hardware component and not a software one.

    On a laptop its poss, there is an internal slot on laptops into which u fit a wireless pci card, reckon it may be poss on certain models of phone with the appropiate slot, or what about USB attached wifi connection ? if your phone has a usb slot

    Thats totally different, and defeats the purpose. It would be cheaper and handier to get a handset that is wlan compatible

    It should be possible on some winmo phones as well,since they are compatible with a microsd card with builtin wifi chipset.
