I ported modern Linux to a ten-year-old HTC QWERTY phone as a handheld terminal.

The HTC Evo 4G isn't a QWERTY phone though? https://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_4g-3427.php
Even doing a Google search for "Sprint EVO 4G" doesn't reveal a keyboard.
Do you have the gsmarena link to the exact model?
Edit: Did further digging, seems like you're talking about the HTC EVO Shift 4G. If so, you should update your blog with the correct model name.

The fact this phone is 15 years old and has seen minimal obvious replacements is such a shame. I love this work!
