Vlad,
Are the E models not an option? With dipoles you can wall-mount AP's and position the DiPoles correctly. The cost will be slightly higher, due to the addition of DiPoles, probably ~80$ more, depending.
If you do plan on mounting internal (2602I) on the wall, be sure you understand the impact this will have on the RF. Take a look at the radiation pattern of those AP's. You'll likely be creating more coverage 'vertically/up-down/elevation'.
You may want to take a look at slide 107 - 115 of the following Cisco Live presentation:

We have use similar things to others like L brackets or custom made brackets to fit our installation, but they might not look so pretty on a wall. In some cases we have simply installed the AP's vertically.
It's not like they don't operate when vertical, from my understanding the recommendation is due to the radio pattern being designed for horizontal mounting.
So you could do a vertical installation so long as you design the coverage correctly.
I'm not sure what impact this could have on things like location services though.
Another option could be to put a "design a pretty enclosure" competition to the art students :)

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Horizontal AP mounting options
Hello All,
I was doing a little research on Cisco's site about mounting options and came across this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/apdeploy/Cisco_Aironet.html
.
We are deploying a bunch of 1602's and 2602's and they recommend mounting them horizontally. There are areas where they need to be wall mounted and none of the ceiling mounts or brackets are an option. They recommend the Oberon P/N 1029-00, . It looks a bit overpriced for what it is and ugly IMO.

Does anyone know of any other options?
Thanks,
