Besides dropping my phone a few too many times, I recently got my phone a little wet (on scale of 1 to 10, 10 being submerged, I would say this water contact was 3).
After letting the phone dry overnight and performing a soft reset , I now have lost the use of the left button on face (Above TALK button)and the multi button( a good name for this button escapes me).

So I tried a hard reset and the HTC ROM upgrade hoping some magic would fix this button. No magic. Any ideas?

Probably should have let your phone dry out a bit longer. Putting it in the oven on it's lowest setting for a few hours works too, if you happen to ever do it again, but I guess that isn't going to help you right now. If that's the only function you lost then I would concider myself lucky, especially since you can use the bottom task bar button to do what you would use that button for most of the time anyway.

Remove the battery and sim card. Look at the horizontal strip where the sim card goes... the strip should be white. If it isn't, then the water has damaged your device. A continued "drying out" may restore the circuits.
