No, the Phoenix lander successfully landed on Mars in May 2008 and completed its mission in November 2008. After transmitting valuable data back to Earth, the mission officially concluded.
Probably the first device that could be called a "space lander" was the Lunar Excursion Module (referred to as the "LEM") which was built for the moon landing in 1969.
A "lander"
Phoenix has a mass of 350 kg, and is 2.2 meters in height by 5.5 meters in length (18 feet) when the solar panels are deployed. The science deck is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) diameter. To the top of the MET mast, the lander stands 7 feet (2.2 meters) high.
the difference between a probe and a lander is a lander is a spacecraft that desends and comes to rest on the surface of a planet/space object. while a probe is a device used to collect items and run tests to collect data.
The lunar lander is the spacecraft designed to land on the moon's surface. It is used to transport astronauts from the lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back to the orbiting spacecraft. The lunar lander played a crucial role in the Apollo missions that landed humans on the moon.

The Phoenix Lander is not designed for return.
The Mars lander Phoenix is named after the mythological bird of the same name, which dies in a fire and is reborn from the ashes of that fire.

The cost to build NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander was approximately $420 million, which included the spacecraft development, launch, and operations.
The last space probe to land on Mars was the Mars Phoenix lander which arrived about 16 months ago and is still operating. Additionally, the two rovers Spirit and Opportunity are still functional, even though Spirit has been stuck in a sand bog for about 3 months now.The Opportunity rover is currently studying a meteorite that was laying on the surface of Mars.

A lander is a space vehicle that is designed to land on other celestial body especially the Moon and the other planet.
Phoenix was a robotic spacecraft on a space exploration mission on Mars under the Mars Scout Program. Mission scientists used instruments aboard the Phoenix lander to search for environments suitable for microbial life on Mars, and to research the history of water there.
A rover had an advantage over a lander because its satellites.A lander is just a space vehicle that is designed to land on a celestial body (as the moon or a planet).
