My backlight on my 8330 will go dimmer when I get in lower light situations. I will put it directly under a lamp and the screen get really bright. I pull it away and it darkens. I have the automatic dim backlight turned off. Is there anyway to make it stay at that bright level? Am I missing a setting somewhere? I think the sensor is by the LED, am I right?
You are right about the LED sensor location. The native software doesn't give you much control over the backlighting. There's a free 3rd party app called BBLight, available here: BBLight that will solve your problem.
Right, this has me puzzled as well. The brighter the light I'm in, the brighter the backlighting? That doesn't make sense to me and I was thinking the 8330 has some kind of sensor.
I tried toggling off the "Auto Dim" feature and that just puts the screen at full brightness all the time. I want it to be at 10% brightness, or some other constant, all the time.
I've used BBLight on my 7250, does it work on the 8330?

That makes complete sense. If you're in a bright environment, the screen needs to compete with ambient light. If you're in a dimmly lit environment, you don't want the screen to blind you.
