I wish Apple would only allow users to edit Contacts after selecting Edit. Currently you can edit information without choosing the EDIT function. While this may seem helpful it also allows you to accidently change data when you had no intention to do so. You should have to select EDIT first and then have the ability to cancel the changes if necessary.

That is supposed to be how it works. The only thing you can edit without putting it in the edit mode are the notes. And that makes complete sense to me.
In my mind it is because I’m not really editing the contact, just adding notes. And it’s nice to eliminate the extra steps to activate and inactivate the editing mode at the start/end of adding/modifying notes. I use it all the time when I call someone and then add notes from the conversation. I don’t feel I need an edit mode for that. I understand your concern but I find it difficult to imagine how _I_ might accidentally change a note. File a feature request. I believe it is working as they designed but you may be able to convince them to add a lock mode, or some other feature to prevent accidental modification of the notes.
I agree, n1mie. That's how it works for me, too.
But why not have the same control over Notes?
