The handset comes with a clamshell design, a 2.4" QVGA internal screen that can deliver a 320 x 240 pixel resolution, as well as a SureType keyboard. On the outside, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip sports a small external screen, which is able to display info on calendar reminders, email, text messages, and phone calls.

The device also includes a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, zoom and digital recording capabilities, Media Player, Speakerphone, voice dialing, support for BlackBerry Messenger, 128 MB Flash memory, and a microSDHC memory card slot for additional storage space. The handset features a 900 mAh battery, it measures 101mm x 50mm x 17.5mm and weighs 102g.
