The problem is T-Mobile changed the IP address that gets assigned on your cell phone when using the EDGE. The ip address used to be 10.x.x.x and now it is 25.x.x.x. One reason why you were able to use EDGE in Florida is that T-Mobile might be rolling this out throughout the country at different times.
The proxy hack on the iPhone checks your IP address. The old proxy hack just checked for 10.x.x.x and if the ip address that gets assigned to your phone comes back as 10.x.x.x, then it directs it to a proxy ip address. This is why you needed to changed the proxy pac file to include 25.x.x.x. The proxy setup on the Shadow does not check for ip address that gets assigned to your cell phone but just sends traffic through the proxy ip address.
When I first had trouble, I was not able to get the EDGE to work on my iPhone but was able to use the EDGE on my Shadow. After changing the proxy pac file to check for the ip addresses 25.x.x.x, then I was able to get my EDGE working again on my iPhone.
