The harpoons that were supposed to fire and hold it to the surface didn't fire... but the lander did hit and appears to have bounced (not sure how hard / if any damage)... but it's on the surface and seems to be sending back data but nobody seems to be reporting anything specific yet?...
That would really blow if the thing is fried... 10 years of waiting. :(
Some pics shot from 10km off the surface of the comet:
