The New American Oxford dictionary included with the Kindle 2 (and presumably the 2nd dictionary included with the K3) does have phonetic transcription for all its entries.

However, you can only see a word's pronunciation if you press the "more" arrow button when the dictionary pop-up appears, which might be somewhat inconvenient.

Also, welcome to MobileRead!
