Hi guys!

I've recently bought the smartfon. Galaxy S with Android.
It's my first smartfon so I'm quite new in smartphones.
Should I buy an antivirus for it?

I don't know if it is really necessary, but lately I keep reading stuff about virus/hacking stuff in android phones. If you want to run a anti-virus on your phone you can use a free one. Go to the Android market place (http://www.android.com/market/), Select the tab 'Top Free', and choose the category 'Tools'. There you will find the app 'Antivirus free'. I know nothing about the app, so install at your own risk ;)
