1. A method of disambiguating an input into a handheld electronic device having an input device, an output device, and a memory having stored therein a plurality of language objects, the input device including a first input member and a plurality of second input members, each of at least some of the second input members 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: detecting an ambiguous input; generating a prefix object corresponding with the ambiguous input; identifying a language object corresponding with the prefix object; outputting a default output comprising the prefix object and a variant output; and 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.

The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting a plurality of selection inputs from the <NEXT> second input member, each said selection input successively selecting a different potential object in the variant output.
