20090187401HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR OBTAINING NEW LANGUAGE OBJECTS FOR A TEMPORARY DICTIONARY USED BY A DISAMBIGUATION ROUTINE ON THE DEVICE - A method of obtaining data for use on a handheld electronic device having a text disambiguation function which employs a dictionary including a number of first language objects that is usable by the text disambiguation function. The method includes receiving a block of information, displaying a representation of at least a portion of the block of information, and determining whether at least one of one or more predetermined events has occurred, wherein each of the events have been deemed to indicate that the information includes language objects that is accessible for use in disambiguating ambiguous inputs. If it is determined that at least one of the events has occurred, the method further includes obtaining a number of second language objects from the block of information and storing the number of second language objects in a temporary dictionary included in the memory and usable by the text disambiguation function.07-23-2009
