Anyone know the reputation of bluboo? Searched on Android Central and didn't come up with much..

Welcome to Android Central! It's a Chinese brand. Sounds like the main selling point is the huge battery. This article mentions a Mediatek CPU, which are usually slower than the typical Qualcomm or Intel CPUs used in phones from the big manufacturers.

And when you need assistance with a problem specific to the device, you'll hear the sound of crickets.

Reputation? They haven't existed long enough to have one. My guess is that as soon as they've shipped their current production run, they'll change name, so they won't be around long enough to get one either. (That's typical of some Chinese manufacturers. Produce a large lot, sell through Alibaba, disappear, and you don't have to worry about bugs or warranties.)
