The largely successful Treo is a testament to the growing popularity and acceptance of smartphones despite their wider-than-usual form factor compared to the regular mobile phone. However, most smartphones are relatively expensive beyond the reach of the common Joe. So, to cheer up those who don’t have the dough to buy one of the more well known brands such as Palm or Dopod, we’re glad to let you know that there is one that’s less than P20K.

The Motorola Q8 or simply Moto Q GSM is the smartphone that will surely make the budget-conscious geek grin with delight. Sporting a full QWERTY keypad, it runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 and is equipped with a 1.3-Megapixel camera. Unfortunately, it isn’t 3G capable so don’t expect HSDPA to be available as well.

For a smartphone that’s priced that low, don’t go looking for high-end features. However, there might be more to the Moto Q than meets the eye. We’ll give you the full review once we get our hands on one in the Mobile labs.
