I'm not sure I'd find a scroll wheel useful for a drop down list of text unless the list was _really_ long - for a relatively short list I'd instictively use the touchscreen.
The only good scroll wheel I've ever used, is the 5-way jog on the Sony Ericsson P(800/900/)910; and only because the UI was taylored towards it (it also speaks volumes that SE decided to drop it in the P990, because -- allegedly -- most users found it too complicated).

I don't even particularly like the scrollwheel on my mouse, mainly because there seems to be no consensus on how it should be used.
