WebOS, with its cards metaphor, is extremely impressive. The Pre is not. When Palm gets the hardware fixed/updated and the software optimized, I think they will have a very good Blackberry/iPhone competitor. The interaction and interface design in WebOS is great, and in some cases better than the iPhone. And RIM has shown that it is incapable of developing a good UI for touchscreen devices.
All the things you list above are hardware features. None of those help the fact that Android is kind of crappy.
The only thing that really sucks about the Pre's hardware is the build quality. The battery life sucks because the software is too slow, wasting CPU.
You're right that I list only hardware features, save the point about the unmolested software. Android is kind of mediocre -- it's way too much like the Sidekick platform with a Windows Mobile strategy. I think it can get a lot better, but only if it gains a lot of users on good open hardware, where they normally get continuous updates direct from upstream and can try out experimental software on their own. It's the same with Apps -- Verizon selling millions of these without locking them down in their usual capricious manner could really get some high-quality shit in the app store.
