There have been problems with android phones and battery life. Live-in said his nexus one had a problem with the software that monitors the battery - it thought it was out of juice before it was actually out of juice. I think that's been fixed but it's supposed to definitely be fixed when FroYo rolls out.
Does he like the N1? Everyone that I've read has it likes it a lot. Google really shafted people with the online-only purchase options.
