I searched and didn't find anything in regards to this under the Tour & Storm forums (same OS, same options, etc).

Is there a way to turn down the brightness or for the auto dim backlight option to make the phone darker? I was just on the plane earlier tonight, we landed and it was dark inside. But the phone was so damn bright that it was hurting my eyes and shining like a flashlight. I even turned down the background brightness to the lowest 10 setting and it was still too bright. The guy next to me had a Bold and his dimmed like my old 8830 did, a lot darker than the Tour on the lowest brightness setting but still very readible. It was really bad when I was reading my messages and the background was white. The black background wasn't that bad, but you only see that in the main top menu and when making calls. Every other menu or app is bright white and is way to bright when it's dark.

Any suggestions on this? Or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?
