Big accomplishment. The AP story comments: NASA has not had a successful powered landing in more than three decades since the twin Viking landers in 1976.

Not till now.

This one isn’t a rover but it should provide some good new photos for a while and some interesting science.

10-15 minutes.

This from Spaceflight now:

In that initial minute of data from Phoenix via Mars Odyssey after landing indicates the lander has just one-quarter degree of tilt and is oriented to deploy its solar arrays for an east-west orientation as planned for maximum power, reports Barry Goldstein, Phoenix project manager from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
