Screen seems a little dark...

Try turning up the brightness! (Tools > Setttings > Phone > Display > Light Sensor) 😉

Ah, good one! I turned it up one notch (moved 1/4 of the bar😮 ) and now the screen is a lot better. Has anyone else had to increase their brightness? I found the middle factory setting a bit dull, not bright enough. Does that mean that the screens have different characteristics? ie Someone else's N80 might be fine on the middle brightness setting?

I'm guessing that it depends just on what level of brightness your eyes have accustomed to. And also it depends on what theme you are using, some themes have less contrast and therefore the screen might seem too dark.
I don't think the screen/backlight itself could be different unless your phone is somehow broken.

The same theme on the N73 (for example 'glass'😉 is a lot brighter (with both displays set to factory 'medium' brightness settings) - I'm just wondering if that should be the case, or whether I've got a particularly 'dark' N80?:con?

You may have. I've had two of them and I thought the screen on the 2nd was darker but assumed it was my imagination so I put them side by side.

The screen on the 2nd phone was definitely darker with both phones on the middle setting.
