Indeed, only with certain contacts. But I noticed that the ones on which it crashes all had their addresses filled prior to switching to iOS7.
I just added an address to my daughters contact card and it doesn't crash on that entry when I try to edit it…
However, the app does 'stutter' a bit when I try scrolling past the 'add URL' section, as if it needs half a second to fetch the address and the rest of the contacts info. Maybe the format of the address data in older iOS versions differs a bit, making the contacts app choke on it
[edit] I checked again and it's only the address field being filled which is consistent across the contacts on which the app crashes…

Good guess, but I don't think that's it. I have lots of old contacts with address information. Some of them crash the app, some don't.
I have found a common factor, though. If the contact had additional information after the address (birthday, anniversary, etc.) it doesn't crash the app. It's only the contacts where the address is the last piece of information that crash the app.
That's not it either, unfortunately. I have one contact where this is happening (luckily only one) and it has a note after the address.
You can actually add a note without going into edit mode (hadn't realized that until this morning) to test yourself.
Rather than delete my contact from the web (iCloud), I'm going to keep it to see if Beta 6 resolves it.
Same thing is happening to me, sometimes they'll send as texts, sometimes they won't send at all...frustrating
Beta 5 has been the most usable, stable beta so far for me; unfortunately this also happens to be the most frustrating bug I've encountered.
Ultimately I think the solution is to switch the globe and the number/symbol button on Roman-letter keyboards like English, but it's probably been like that too long for most people to accept such a change... Failing that I really wish they'd make them into buttons that respond to being held down but not just tapped, like the camera button on iOS 6 lock screen.
Oh well... I'll hold out hope for iOS 8
Weird..My name is Tyler (is yours? I see TyPod..either way, close), and my fiancee's name is Rachel.
Not having this problem, though..
Doubtful, but maybe they're just waiting until the GM to introduce it. No one really knows, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Am I the only one that thinks the HDR mode is completely broken? Compared with iOS 6 it doesnt even come close.
I've been noticing I don't see the update animation on an app while it's being updated any longer. Been this way since I installed beta 5. :-/
