I've been using Skype on my 750 just fine. The only requirements are:

1) Make sure you've got solid 3G coverage (and a data plan of course)
2) Make sure you're using a wired headset (else the voice comes out of the speakerphone)

Point 2 is common to Skype on all PPC phones, it's an issue on the Skype side of things.

Only downside to Skype is that it is a bit of a battery hog, but if you're only using it when you need it that shouldn't be an issue.

Just grab the latest PPC (not smartphone) beta and go to town.

Skype running on my Treo 750 says it is.
