A method of secondary character rendering and entry in a portable electronic device that has a touch screen display includes rendering a virtual keyboard of a plurality of virtual input keys in a graphical user interface on the touch screen display; detecting a touch event at one of the virtual input keys on the touch screen display; detecting a continuation of the touch event at the one of the virtual input keys; rendering a secondary virtual keyboard of one or more secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display in response to detecting the continuation of the touch event, the secondary virtual keyboard being associated with the virtual input key; detecting a distinct and separate secondary touch event at the secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display; and rendering a secondary character associated with the secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display in response to detecting the secondary touch event.
