Nokia has dissed its mobile gamers. And it took them a couple of days to realize that and issue a clarification.

GameSeekR - new stuff
Thanks to our users, those that registered and those that just stop by everyday! We are now moving up to 40,000 games in our index. You can search and find one that you like for sure. If it ain't there you can sign up and add it( Yeah, we will check and delete if its not a game!).
Its time to reward our users (those who sign-up and bring their friends in). So we are soon starting a new points system. Like everything else in life, the more you do the more you get(really....?).
More importantly we now have a way for users to post anything around the game they like. Microblog, add images and link to videos. Or just post a 1 liner. 139 characters would suffice or if you feel like it 13,900 characters too... ( 140 was taken by twitter, so our marketing dudes made it 139!)
Create a game list, add games to your gamelist and see what your friends have. Invite your friends to check it out.
Oh, we have hired a UI designer too, for you discerning gamers.
Come on in one and all - search, sign-up and tell your friends.
We want you to contribute and together lets create the worlds biggest information resource on video games.
