I think the pilots turned the plane around, the emergency resulted in a loss of communication first and then developed into a Helios 522 scenario and then the flight continued until it ran out of fuel.
There were plenty of mobile phones on board that they could have used.
You would need to be in range of a Cell Tower for a phone to work..

I've got the answer for you. Something like this occurred:

I thought this comment on Yahoo News was interesting.
A senior U.S. military official told ABC News that they had not ruled out that the plane was flown to a secret site so it could be used at a later date.
"I am keenly interested in resolving this mystery so we can discard the possibility that the airplane can be used for nefarious purposes in the future," the official said.

But I thought communication was the last thing to go in a plane. Doesn't the radio have an automatic battery backup, so even in the event of a total power failure the radio will still be usable? I'm sure that's what I've heard, that the radio is one of the most robust things you can find in the entire plane and even if the plane is literally falling apart the radio is the one thing you can rely on to still work.

Does anyone think that the US have got a better idea of what happened to this plane than they are actually letting on?

It's seems almost certain now that this was no accident. Malaysia’s Prime Minister has made a statement saying that as far as the Malaysian authorities are concerned the communications on the missing airliner were switched off by a deliberate act. The plane was then diverted from it's scheduled flight path and flown on a different heading by someone with considerable aviation experience.

You'd need a proper runway to land a plane of that size.

Is it known WHAT CARGO THE PLANE WAS CARRYING? That seems to be an overlooked detail in all of this.

Yes good point. I've got to give you that one. The radio would have battery back up. It's looking more and more that the communications were turned off deliberately by someone who knew exactly what he was doing.
