16. The handheld electronic device of claim 9 wherein said processor unit is further structured to make as said at least one determination, both a determination that said number of input member actuations exceeds the first threshold, and a determination that a quantity of predicted language objects corresponding with said ambiguous input is less than the second threshold.
9. A handheld electronic device comprising: a processor unit comprising a processor, an input apparatus, an output apparatus, and a memory having a routine stored therein, the processor unit being structured to: detect of a number of input member actuations corresponding with an ambiguous input; setting a first threshold, said first threshold having a value of at least two; selecting a second threshold; and only when said number of input member actuations exceeds the first threshold and a quantity of predicted language objects corresponding with said ambiguous input is less than the second threshold generate, for output, based on the quantity of predicted language objects, a number of prefix objects corresponding to said ambiguous input and a number of the predicted language objects corresponding to said ambiguous input, each predicted language object comprising a prefix object portion and a completion portion; and provide at a text input location an output comprising a prefix object and a completion portion of a first predicted language object.
