Well he's using Sprint, so his GPS should be locking in 5 seconds or so. I recommend what everyone else has been saying (Start->Settings->Personal tab-->Phone->Services Tab->Location Setting) and turn Location ON.

Then download a GPS toggler (Try BAF toggler, doesn't require a primer). Sometimes it takes long to get the initial lock, but then it'll do it consistently faster each time. Keep an eye on the BAF GPS toggle (which is on your todays screen) and watch it change, so don't open anything else until you see a lock.
