Do you still have the old Android Market installed? If you just uninstalled the updates, then there probably is an older version of the store at your phone which is also probably why you can't reinstall the Play Store.

I can't find "Market" under my applications :S Any other ideas? Check all the apps in your drawer: is there really none with a "green bag" icon?

OK -- in that case, as said above and as the button suggested , you did NOT uninstall the app itself, but "Uninstall ed updates" only. The original ROM-App must still be there: Simply the availability of the "Uninstall updates" button indicates it is a system app you cannot remove. Sure you checked the app drawer? What launcher are you using? Maybe you a checked the wrong tab some drawers devide apps in "All", "Recent", and "Running" -- so if you checked in "Recent", the uninstall may have removed it there , or b the drawer might be hiding it?

I've searched through them all and I cannot find anything which would be related to the market app. Show 6 more comments.

There are many answers to that, such as you might have either disabled it or hidden it. There is a high chance that you have only removed the Play Store from your home screen. For the uninitiated, apps on Android phones are present at two places — app drawer and home screen.
