1. Download the server, client, and “Dynamic client libraries
(including 3.23.x libraries)” rpms.
2. rpm -Uvh –nodeps MySQL-server-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm
3. rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm
4. rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm
5. I had to manually kill the mysqld process and restart, but after that everything works fine, including my php code.

All these phones also have 2 megapixel cameras, pretty neat!
