Does anyone know if the 9500 will play in stereo via the PopPort? Can't see anything definitive in the Nokia site, though there're several stereo headsets shown on the accessories page. :?

Though not officially mentioned, logically it should support stereo sound playback on the port-pop earphones.

Logically speaking it should. But the 7610 also uses pop-port, and is mono as well :S So I'm not sure

Well,if you check the list of accessories for the 9500 you will see a Stereo Pop-Port headset,unlike the 7610.
