7. A method of enabling input on a handheld electronic device having a plurality of language objects stored therein, the handheld electronic device including a first input member and a plurality of second input members, at least some of the second input members each having a plurality of characters assigned thereto, one of the second input members being a <NEXT> second input member and including a particular visual appearance, the <NEXT> second input member being adapted to provide a selection input, the method comprising: responsive to an ambiguous input, generating a number of prefix objects corresponding with the ambiguous input; identifying for each of at least two of the prefix objects a corresponding language object; outputting a default output comprising a preferred one of the prefix objects; outputting a variant output comprising a number of the prefix objects; outputting a visual indicator representative of the particular visual appearance of the <NEXT> second input member as an indication that alternative variant outputs are available; and detecting a selection input from either the first input member or the <NEXT> second input member as a selection of at least a portion of the variant output.

The method of claim 7 , further comprising detecting a plurality of selection inputs from the <NEXT> second input member, each said selection input successively selecting a different prefix object of the variant output.
