Picture of the HTC Passion / Dragon’s screen?

Pardon us while we think out loud, but that high resolution screen with an HTC Sense UI-looking clock/weather widget looks like Android to us. We’ve also confirmed that this photo was taken of a Verizon handset, and with all signs…

T-Mobile voice outage?
