Has anyone noticed the screen's brightness adjust to the ambiant light?
Seems to get brighter in brighter areas. Is this normal? The readability of the screen is very good btw.

Does anyone know if there is a way how to temporarily disable it, or to toglle it on/off?

It's been perfectly normal for some years now. My 3 year-old dumb SE does it too
It uses a light sensor on the face of the device, close to the front camera (check the manual for the exact location). Covering it (with your finger or something) will keep the screen at it's dimmest.
I have a feeling it's strictly hardware, so there is no way to change the way it works. Could be different on the n900 though

Is your brightness level set to "5/max"? I've noticed I only get the auto-dimming if I have it set to anything less than max. This was also the same on my N97.
