The CLIE NR-, NX-, and NZ- series handhelds are Sony's high-end feature-packed line of PDAs.

When they were introduced, the NR- series of CLIEs represented 'radical departures' from traditional PDA design (lcd flanked by menu buttons). The new devices can be opened up to a v-shape configuration with optimal viewing of a rotating screen and access to an intergrated keyboard.
