14. The handheld electronic device of claim 11 wherein the memory has stored therein a plurality of language objects and a plurality of frequency objects, at least some of the language objects each being associated with an associated frequency object, and wherein the input interpretation function is a disambiguation routine that is executable on the processor to provide a text disambiguation function which, responsive to an ambiguous input of a number of input member actuations, is operable to interpret the ambiguous input by: generating a number of prefix objects corresponding with the ambiguous input, generating a result by identifying for each of at least some of the prefix objects a corresponding language object having a frequency object associated therewith, and outputting at least some of the prefix objects of the result to provide a number of proposed disambiguated outputs that each have a correspondence with the ambiguous input.
11. A handheld electronic device comprising: a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory; an input apparatus being structured to provide input to the processor apparatus and comprising a plurality of input members including a multiple-axis input device, at least some of the input members each having a plurality of characters assigned thereto; an output apparatus structured to receive output signals from the processor apparatus; the memory having stored therein a number of routines which, when executed on the processor, cause the handheld electronic device to perform operations comprising: providing an input interpretation function which, responsive to an ambiguous input of a number of input member actuations, is operable to interpret the ambiguous input; detecting an input from the multiple-axis input device and, responsive thereto, moving a focus of the handheld electronic device to a particular component of the handheld electronic device; responsive to the moving of the focus to a particular component, disabling at least temporarily the input interpretation function and providing an alternate input interpretation function; detecting a number of input member actuations; and responsive to the detecting of a number of input member actuations, interpreting the number of input member actuations with the alternate input interpretation function.
