It already runs a linux-based OS (Meego), and already has a working port of Android 4.0 for it (although the mic doesn't work yet). The Android port is critical, as this is where the Open webOS ports are getting their drivers from.
Its specs are mostly the same as a Pre2 (and has 1gb of ram rather than 512mb). Plus the N9 is Pentaband, so it will work on pretty much any GSM network worldwide (the Lumias currently are quad band only).
In saying that, I get the feeling that the Galaxy Nexus will be the first one to get some sort of working Open webOS.
The only thing not true in your post is that the Lumia's are quad-band only. In some countries they are dual-band-only.
