Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with
disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and
a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood
that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide
additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by
various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text
entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to
adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can
be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided.
Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of
a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants
generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device.
