On a slightly side note, are there any super basic tutorials using Serial communications with a Netduino? I think that some super basic/simple tutorials are one of the few important things missing from the community. If they are out then they need to be made easier to find.

I haven't had any problems sending 3.3V signals to a 5V serial backpack for LCDs. I've tried out a couple of them (Wolfden.org and one direct from PHAnderson), and both worked just fine without logic level switching.
I've had a different experience in the past using Modern Devices' serial backpacks: http://shop.modernde...x4lcd-lcd117kit They would not respond to 3.3v inputs w/o level shifting.

I wrote a post showing how to deal with level-shifting, using the 5 volt LCD backpack as an example: http://fabienroyer.w...ith-a-netduino/
I hope this helps.

I saw your post earlier, thanks, I promptly ordered several (25) of the level shifters .
